The Large scale instability in rotating fluid with small scale force

Abstract

In this paper, we find a new large scale instability displayed by a rotating flow in forced turbulence. The turbulence is generated by a small scale external force at low Reynolds number. The theory is built on the rigorous asymptotic method of multi-scale development. The nonlinear equations for the instability are obtained at the third order of the perturbation theory. In this article, we explain a detailed study of the nonlinear stage of the instability and generation vortex kinks.
