Abstract: The nonlinear group interaction of the Taylor–Görtler disturbances (streamwise vortices) at the initial section of a supersonic axisymmetric jet is numerically studied within the framework of the weakly nonlinear theory of stability. The experimentally observed spectrum of disturbances is considered. The regular and specific features of the streamwise dynamics of various wave components for a turbulent jet are studied. It is shown that such an interaction in the coupled mode in resonant group triplets allows one to describe the experimentally observed elevated growth of background components of the real spectrum.

Keywords: nonisobaric supersonic jet, streamwise vortices, three-wave resonant interactions.
