Abstract
We use a simple linearized Navier-Stokes-based model to study the large-scale quasistreamwise rolls in unstably stratified turbulent channel flows. As the influence of buoyancy-driven mechanisms (relative to shear-driven mechanisms) increases, channel-wide structures with two-peaks in the intensity of temperature emerges from the linear model, consistent with direct numerical simulations.
