The term negative eddy viscosity is used to denote flow situations in whicht the turbulent transport of momentum occurs against the mean velocity gradient, i.e., from regions with low momentum to region with high momentum, with concomitant transfers of kinetic energy in the "opposite" direction to-from fluctuations to the mean flow
