Direct numerical simulations of temporally evolving plane mixing layers undergoing as many as three pairings have been examined for evidence of spanwise scale change. All simulations were begun from a few low-wavenumber disturbances, usually derived from linear stability theory, in addition to the mean velocity. The amplitude of the initial three-dimensional disturbances varied from infinitesimal to large enough to trigger a rapid transition to turbulence. The time required for a change of characteristic spanwise scale with infinitesimal three-dimensional disturbances was found to be very long, requiring three or more pairings to complete a doubling of the spanwise scale. Stronger three-dimensionality can produce more rapid scale changes, but it is also likely to trigger transition to turbulence. No evidence was found for a change from an organized array of rib vortices at one spanwise scale to a similar array at a larger spanwise scale.
