Abstract
A class of autowave processes associated with the propagation of a front separating laminar and turbulent regions in a fluid with a presence of shear flows is analysed. It is shown that such a front possesses the features of a “trigger” wave. The problem is solved within the set of semi-empirical equations for the mean velocity and the energy of turbulent pulsations.
