Recent experimental, numerical and theoretical advances in turbulent Rayleigh-Bénard
convection are presented. Particular emphasis is given to the physics and structure of the …

The progress in our understanding of several aspects of turbulent Rayleigh-Bénard
convection is reviewed. The focus is on the question of how the Nusselt number and the …

A systematic theory for the scaling of the Nusselt number Nu and of the Reynolds number
Re in strong Rayleigh–Bénard convection is suggested and shown to be compatible with …

An experimental study of Rayleigh–Bénard convection in the strongly turbulent regime is
presented. We report results obtained at low Prandtl number (in mercury, Pr= 0.025) …

Numerical experiments on strongly turbulent thermal convection in a slender cylindrical cell
Page 1 J. Fluid Mech. (2003), vol. 477, pp. 19–49. c 2003 Cambridge University Press DOI …

In a low temperature He gas Rayleigh-Bénard experiment, Rayleigh numbers from 10 3 to
more than 10 14 are explored. Local velocity is estimated through the time lag between two …

Building on a method of analysis for the Navier-Stokes equations introduced by Hopf [Math.
Ann. 117, 764 (1941)], a variational principle for upper bounds on the largest possible time …

In this article we deal with the turbulent regimes of Rayleigh–Bénard convection, namely the
2/7 regime and beyond. An experiment with He at low temperature allows us to explore a …

Turbulent rotating convection controls many observed features of stars and planets, such as
magnetic fields, atmospheric jets and emitted heat flux patterns,,,,,. It has long been argued …

Turbulent, rapidly rotating convection has been of interest for decades, yet there exists no
generally accepted scaling law for heat transfer behaviour in this system. Here, we develop …
