[For the entire collection see Zbl 0746.00077.] The Görtler flow is studied through three-dimensional incompressible Navier-Stokes computations, that solve for the spatially developing flow. By the use of inflow-outflow boundary conditions (as opposed to the temporal approach) we allow in a natural way for the development of the boundary layer, we preserve the convective nature of the Görtler instability and we do not impose a priori streamwise wavelengths (such as the wavelength of the secondary instability). To trigger the secondary instability we introduce the equivalent of a ``vibrating ribbon. The secondary instability starts as a sinuous motion of the low speed streaks. The spanwise movement of the streaks is a feature that the Görtler flow shares with shear layer structures in near-wall turbulence.
