In this expository note, we discuss our recent work [7] on the nonlinear asymptotic stability of shear flows in the 2D Euler equations of ideal, incompressible flow. In that work, it is proved that perturbations to the Couette flow which are small in a suitable regularity class converge strongly in L-2 to a shear flow which is close to the Couette flow. Enstrophy is mixed to small scales by an almost linear evolution and is generally lost in the weak limit as t ->+/-infinity. In this note, we discuss the most important physical and mathematical aspects of the result and the key ideas of the proof.
