In plane Couette flow (pCf), the transitional regime is characterized by oblique laminar-turbulent bands. These large scale patterns are periodic in both streamwise and spanwise directions. In this study, we perform direct numerical simulations (DNS) of pCf undergoing a reverse transition to understand the characteristics of the laminarturbulent bands. The large scale flow vectors near the bands are almost parallel to them due to a considerable spanwise velocity. Transitional pCf is different from its fully turbulent counterpart in certain aspects. Unlike fully turbulent flow, counter-rotating secondary roll cells are absent in the transitional regime. Another major difference is the presence of non-zero off-diagonal components of Reynolds stress tensor in transitional pCf.
