The ultimate state of thermal convection
arXiv:nlin/0212013 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.90.034502
Abstract
The ultimate regime of thermal convection, the so called Kraichnan regime (R. H. Kraichnan, Phys. Fluids 5, 1374 (1962)), hitherto has been elusive. Here, numerical evidence for that regime is presented by performing simulations of the bulk of turbulence only, eliminating the thermal and kinetic boundary layers and replacing them by periodic boundary conditions.
