Viscosity driven instability of shear flows without boundaries

Abstract

In this paper, we study the instability effect of viscous dissipation in a domain without boundaries. We construct a shear flow that is initially spectrally stable but evolves into a spectrally unstable state under the influence of viscous dissipation. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first result of viscosity driven instability that is not caused by boundaries.
