Abstract: In this paper, we study the transition threshold problem for the 2-D Navier-Stokes equations around the Couette flow (y,0) at large Reynolds number Re in a finite channel. We develop a systematic method to establish the resolvent estimates of the linearized operator and space-time estimates of the linearized Navier-Stokes equations. In particular, three kinds of important effects: enhanced dissipation, inviscid damping and boundary layer, are integrated into the space-time estimates in a sharp form. As an application, we prove that if the initial velocity v0 satisfies |v0(y,0)|H2lecRefrac12 for some small c independent of Re, then the solution of the 2-D Navier-Stokes equations remains within O(Refrac12) of the Couette flow for any time.
