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 …

This textbook presents a modern account of turbulence, one of the greatest challenges in
physics. The state-of-the-art is put into historical perspective five centuries after the first …

▪ Abstract I have sometimes thought that what makes a man's work classic is often just this
multiplicity [of interpretations], which invites and at the same time resists our craving for a …

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 …

The previous edition of this text was the first to provide a quantitative introduction to chaos
and nonlinear dynamics at the undergraduate level. It was widely praised for the clarity of …

▪ Abstract Passive scalar behavior is important in turbulent mixing, combustion, and pollution
and provides impetus for the study of turbulence itself. The conceptual framework of the …

This book presents an introduction to, and modern account of, magnetohydrodynamic
(MHD) turbulence, an active field both in general turbulence theory and in various areas of …

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 …
