Turbulent convection at very high Rayleigh numbers and the weakly nonlinear theory
Katepalli R. Sreenivasan, Joseph J. Niemela
To provide insights into the challenging problem of turbulent convection, Jack Herring used a greatly truncated version of the complete Boussinesq equations containing only one hor…

Heat transport in the geostrophic regime of rotating Rayleigh-B{é}nard convection
Robert E. Ecke, Joseph J. Niemela
We report experimental measurements of heat transport in rotating Rayleigh-B{é}nard convection in a cylindrical convection cell with aspect ratio . The fluid was helium gas…

Critical Fluctuation of Wind Reversals in Convective Turbulence
Rudolph C. Hwa, C. B. Yang, S. Bershadskii +2
The irregular reversals of wind direction in convective turbulence are found to have fluctuating intervals that can be related to critical behavior. It is shown that the net magnet…
