Turbulent plane Couette flow at moderately high Reynolds number

This work was partially supported by the German Science Foundation (DFG) under the grant number KH 257/2-1 (2010). The computations of the new simulations were made possible by a generous grant of computer time from the FUCHS cluster at the University of Frankfurt-am-Main, the SuperMUC Petascale System at Leibniz Supercomputing Centre (LRZ) and the supercomputation center of the Universitat Politecnica de Valencia. We are grateful to Messrs Tsukuhara, Kawamura, Shingai, Bernardini, Pirozzoli and Orlandi for providing us with copies of their original data and to Mr P. Raga for his help in the preparation of figure 7. S. H. is indebted to J. Jimenez.
