Abstract
In high speed flows, significant density fluctuations can be generated by the flow itself. In this Chapter, compressibility effects in free shear flows with uniform and non uniform density are discussed in detail The free shear layer is choosen as a useful benchmark for evaluating such effects, since, unlike the jet, neither the Mach number nor the density ratio are decreasing with distance. Recent DNS results are used to illustrate important aspects of the compressible free shear layer, including Mach number effects and variable density effects.
