Abstract: We study Sobolev regularity disturbances to the periodic, plane Couette flow in the 3D incompressible Navier-Stokes equations at high Reynolds number $extbfRe$. Our goal is to estimate how the stability threshold scales in $extbfRe$: the largest the initial perturbation can be while still resulting in a solution that does not transition away from Couette flow. In this work we prove that initial data which satisfies $|u_{in}{|}_{H^{s}igma}leqdeltaextbf{Re}^{-3/2}$ for any $sigma>9/2$ and some $delta=delta(sigma)>0$ depending only on $sigma$, is global in time, remains within $O(extbf{Re}^{-1/2})$ of the Couette flow in $L^2$ for all time, and converges to the class of "2.5 dimensional" streamwise-independent solutions referred to as streaks for times $tgtrsimextbf{Re}^{1/3}$. Numerical experiments performed by Reddy et. al. with "rough" initial data estimated a threshold of $simextbf{Re}^{-31/20}$, which shows very close agreement with our estimate.
