It is shown that the key variable in the transition zone is the 'intermittency' gamma, experimentally defined as the fraction of time that the flow is turbulent at any given station. The basic theory is considered. Hypotheses about spot formation are formulated. Anomalous spot propagation and subtransitions are examined. It is shown that prediction of onset is a major unsolved problem in transition dynamics. The rate at which turbulent spots are born determined the intermittency distribution. Models for the transition zone are reviewed. A linear combination model is described in detail. (ESA)
