Ultimate turbulent thermal convection
Detlef Lohse, Olga Shishkina
Abstract
Recent studies of a model system—a fluid in a box heated from below and cooled from above—provide insights into the physics of turbulent thermal convection. But upscaling the system to extremely strong turbulence remains difficult.
