Abstract

We track the onset of chaos in plane Couette flow. The formation of a chaotic saddle through a boundary crisis is discussed. We show that inside the chaotic saddle, new saddle-node bifurcations create stable pockets of turbulence, which subsequently undergo boundary crisis. This leads to a non-monotonic variation of characteristic lifetimes with Reynolds number.
