报告题目：Transition threshold for the 3-D Couette flow

Beginning with Reynolds's famous paper in 1883, the stability
and transition to turbulence of the laminar flows at high Reynolds
number has been an important and active field in the fluid mechanics.
 For some simple flows such as Couette flow which are linearly
stable for any Reynolds number, however, it could be unstable and
transition to turbulence for small perturbations at high Reynolds
number. One explanation suggested by Kelvin is that the flow may be
stable, but the stability threshold is decreasing as Reynolds number
tends to the infinity.  Many works in Physics and applied mathematics
are devoted to finding the transition threshold. We (joint with Dongyi Wei)
proved the transition threshold conjecture in physical literature
for the 3-D Couette flow.
