Description
Résumé : This is the second in a pair of works which study small disturbances to the plane, periodic 3D Couette flow in the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations at high Reynolds number Re. In this work, we show that there is constant , independent of Re, such that sufficiently regular disturbances of size for any exist at least until and in general evolve to be due to the lift-up effect. Further, after times , the streamwise dependence of the solution is rapidly diminished by a mixing-enhanced dissipation effect and the solution is attracted back to the class of "2.5 dimensional" streamwise-independent solutions (sometimes referred to as "streaks"). The largest of these streaks are expected to eventually undergo a secondary instability at . Hence, our work strongly suggests, for all (sufficiently regular) initial data, the genericity of the "lift-up effect streak growth streak breakdown" scenario for turbulent transition of the 3D Couette flow near the threshold of stability forwarded in the applied mathematics and physics literature
