Quadrupolar flows around spots in internal shear flows

Turbulent spots occur in shear flows confined between two walls and are surrounded by robust quadrupolar flows. Although the far-field decay of such large-scale flows has been reported to be exponential, we predict a different algebraic decay for the case of plane Couette flow. We address this probl...
