Description

We prove nonlinear stability for finite amplitude perturbations of plane Couette flow. A bound of the solution of the resolvent equation in the unstable complex half-plane is used to estimate the solution of the full nonlinear problem.The result is a lower bound, including Reynolds number dependence,of the threshold amplitude below which all perturbations are stable. Our result is an improvement of the corresponding bound derived in \cite{KLH:1}.
