A new set of three-dimensional visualisations of a large-scale direct numerical simulations (DNS) of a turbulent boundary layer is presented. The Reynolds number ranges from $Re_\theta=180$ to 4300, based on the momentum-loss thickness $\theta$ and the free-stream velocity $U_\infty$. The focus of t...
