Abstract: At sufficiently high Reynolds numbers, shear-flow turbulence close to a wall acquires universal properties. When length and velocity are rescaled by appropriate characteristic scales of the turbulent flow and thereby measured in emph{inner units}, the statistical properties of the flow become independent of the Reynolds number. We demonstrate the existence of a wall-attached non-chaotic exact invariant solution of the fully nonlinear 3D Navier-Stokes equations for a parallel boundary layer that captures the characteristic self-similar scaling of near-wall turbulent structures. The branch of travelling wave solutions can be followed up to . Combined theoretical and numerical evidence suggests that the solution is asymptotically self-similar and exactly scales in inner units for Reynolds numbers tending to infinity. Demonstrating the existence of invariant solutions that capture the self-similar scaling properties of turbulence in the near-wall region is a step towards extending the dynamical systems approach to turbulence from the transitional regime to fully developed boundary layers.
