Large-scale instability of a generalized turbulent Kolmogorov flow
We present an analytical study of the large scale instability of a generalized turbulent Kolmogorov flow, i.e. a periodic shear flow where the molecular viscosity has been substituted by an eddy viscosity parameterized with the Clark-Smagorinsky model and where the external forcing is adapted to mai...
