A planar jet issuing from a fully developed two-dimensional turbulent channel flow is studied, with a focus on the transverse flapping of the jet core. The streamwise and transverse velocities were measured with hot-wire anemometry using an X-type probe. The mean velocity field and the velocity covariances were first characterised to assess the undisturbed flow field. Periodic excitations were introduced from a slot mounted at the channel exit and the coherent fluctuating part of the signal was obtained by using a phase-locked averaging technique, where the periodic initial forcing was used as trigger. This enabled the eduction of the coherent structure associated with the introduced perturbation. Its amplitude was found to be directly proportional to the intensity of the initial forcing and, within a certain range of the initial forcing amplitude, the growth curves were identical as well as the spatial distribution of the extracted fluctuations. Parallel and non-parallel linear stability theory captures qualitatively and quantitatively the features of the educed coherent structure. The existence of the linear mode in the turbulent jet implies that the large-scale perturbations observed in natural (unforced) jets can be regarded as an incoherent set of linear modes.
