The relevance of Orr's inviscid mechanism to the transient amplification of disturbances in shear flows is explored in the context of bursting in the logarithmic layer of wall-bounded turbulence. The linearized problem for the wall normal velocity is first solved in the limit of small viscosity for a uniform shear and for a channel with turbulent-like profile, and compared with the quasiperiodic bursting of fully turbulent simulations in boxes designed to be minimal for the logarithmic layer. Many properties, such as time and length scales, energy fluxes between components, and inclination angles, agree well between the two systems. However, once advection by the mean flow is subtracted, the directly computed linear component of the turbulent acceleration is found to be a small part of the total. The temporal correlations of the different quantities in turbulent bursts imply that the classical model, in which the wall-normal velocities are generated by the breakdown of the streamwise-velocity streaks, is ...
