Shear-driven Turbulence

Shear-Driven Turbulence is a type of hydrodynamic instability in which turbulent motion is generated and sustained primarily by velocity shear in a fluid flow, distinguishing it from buoyancy-driven or convectively driven turbulence through its dependence on mechanical forcing rather than thermal stratification.
