| Research Abstract |
By means of both of the bifurcation theory and the direct numerical simulation method complementarily, which have been employed independently to investigate turbulent flows, we explore non-trivial equilibrium flows in infinite parallel plates at low Reynolds numbers. The key result obtained in this project is the discovery of the hairpin vortex state of the plane Couette flow. While hairpin-vortices have been identified as a time-dependent coherent structure in experiments of turbulent shear flows, any corresponding exact solution has never been solved.
