Abstract
A direct numerical simulation of fully developed turbulent plane Couet te flow has been performed. Unsteady large-scale structures, which con tributed to the instantaneous energy level, were observed. These evolv ing and drifting vortical structures vanished after time-averaging, an d the resulting mean velocity and streamwise turbulence intensity comp ared favourably with recent laboratory data.
