Abstract
The stability of the finite-area Kármán 'vortex street' to two-dimensional disturbances is determined. It is shown that for vortices of finite size there exists a finite range of spacing ratio κ for which the array is stable to infinitesimal disturbances. As the vortex size approaches zero, the range narrows to zero width about the classical von Kármán value of 0·281.
