The process proposed by Alfven (1962) for the separation of matter and antimatter in Klein's (1958) symmetric cosmological model is reviewed. A process that could operate after Alfven's separation has concluded and would lead to separation on a much larger scale than Alfven's is decribed which involves interaction between clouds in a system of clouds consisting of matter and antimatter. An assembly of such clouds is examined by regarding the clouds as two different types of molecule in a fluid, considering collisions between like clouds as elastic, and applying classical hydrodynamics to the cloud assembly. The average expansion of a cosmic gas cloud is investigated along with the fate of fluctuations occurring within the cloud, and it is found that fluctuations appearing as amplifying sound waves will grow spontaneously in this medium. A parametric instability associated with the large-amplitude sound wave is shown to effect a separation of matter and antimatter on a scale vastly greater than that of the individual cloud. It is concluded that this separation process is inevitable and that the separation probably occurs on a galactic scale.
