Abstract: The background method is adapted to derive rigorous limits on surface speeds and bulk energy dissipation for shear stress driven flow in two and three dimensional channels. By-products of the analysis are nonlinear energy stability results for plane Couette flow with a shear stress boundary condition: when the applied stress is gauged by a dimensionless Grashoff number $Gr$, the critical $Gr$ for energy stability is 139.5 in two dimensions, and 51.73 in three dimensions. We derive upper bounds on the friction (a.k.a. dissipation) coefficient $$, where $au$ is the applied shear stress and $$ is the mean velocity of the fluid at the surface, for flows at higher $Gr$ including developed turbulence: $C_{f}le1/32$ in two dimensions and $C_{f}le1/8$ in three dimensions. This analysis rigorously justifies previously computed numerical estimates.
