Abstract
Tilting instability is an instability of convective motion in two-dime nsional (2-D) ideal fluid transforming convection into sheared flow. A n analytical model of the tilting instability is proposed that clearly exhibits inverse cascade phenomenon, conserving both energy and enstr ophy. Obtained solution describes the evolution of the nonlinear stage in which initial fluid convection is transformed completely into the large-scale flow.
