Abstract
Pipe flow and many other shear flows show a transition to turbulence at flow rates for which the laminar profile is stable against infinitesimal perturbations. In this brief review the recent progress in the understanding of this transition will be summarized, with a focus on the linear and nonlinear states that drive the transitions, the extended and localized patterns that appear, and on the spatio-temporal dynamics and their relation to directed percolation.
