A comprehensive review of spatiotemporal pattern formation in systems driven away from
equilibrium is presented, with emphasis on comparisons between theory and quantitative …

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 …

Thermally driven turbulent flows are omnipresent in nature and technology. A good
understanding of the physical principles governing such flows is key for numerous problems …

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 …

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 properties of the structure functions and other small-scale quantities in turbulent
Rayleigh-Bénard convection are reviewed, from an experimental, theoretical, and numerical …

Turbulent convection occurs when the Rayleigh number (Ra)—which quantifies the relative
magnitude of thermal driving to dissipative forces in the fluid motion—becomes sufficiently …

The Rayleigh-Bénard theory by Grossmann and Lohse [J. Fluid Mech. 407, 27 (2000)] is
extended towards very large Prandtl numbers Pr. The Nusselt number Nu is found here to …

For very many years, scientists have studied the motion of enclosed fluids heated from
below and cooled from above. 1 The containers for these Rayleigh–Bénard systems 2 have …

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) …
