contents Attempts to disentangle shear-flow turbulence often focus on identifying relatively simple solutions, such as travelling waves or periodic orbits. We show, however, that capturing multiscale features requires considering states at least as complex as quasi-time-periodic solutions. Approximations of these states can be computed efficiently using a quasi-linear model, consistent with the large-Reynolds-number asymptotic analysis. The quasi-linear structure is key to producing multiscale critical layers that generate vortices obeying Taylor frozen-flow hypothesis.
