We found that the spanwise vortex solution in LHF identifies a new solution in PCF. The vortical structure of our new solution has the shape of a hairpin observed ubiquitously in high-Reynolds-number turbulent flow, and we believe this discovery may provide the paradigm for a hierarchical organization of coherent structures in turbulent shear layers.}, pages = {114501-1--114501-4}, title = {Hairpin Vortex Solution in Planar Couette Flow : A Tapestry of Knotted Vortices}, volume = {102}, year = {2009} }
