We consider the stability of a compressible shear flow separa ting two streams of different speeds and temperatures. The velocity and temperature profiles in this mixing layer are hy perbolic tangents. The normal mode analysis of the flow stability reduces to an eigenvalue problem for the pressure perturbation. We briefly describe the numerical method that we used to solve this problem. Then, we introduce the notions of the absolute and convective instabilities and examine the effects of Mach number, and the velocity and temperature ratios of each stream on the transition between convective and absolute instabilities. Finally, we discuss the implicati on of the results presented in this paper for the heliopause s tability.
