Turbulence

the cycle in which streamwise rolls create streaks, streaks become unstable to waves, and the waves regenerate the rolls, keeping shear-flow turbulence alive.

In turbulence, self-sustaining process refers to the cycle in which streamwise rolls create streaks, streaks become unstable to waves, and the waves regenerate the rolls, keeping shear-flow turbulence alive. This meaning comes from Waleffe (1997) in Physics of Fluids.[1]
