Coherent structures in transitional plane Couette flow

We briefly review the recent work on turbulent coherent structures in the transition to and from turbulence in wall-bounded flows, with special emphasis on the plane Couette flow for which these structures self-organize to form a pattern of bands alternately laminar and turbulent.
