We investigate the structure of strongly nonlinear Rayleigh–Bénard convection cells in the asymptotic limit of large Rayleigh number and fixed, moderate Prandtl number. Unlike the flows analyzed in prior theoretical studies of infinite Prandtl number... Read More about Large Rayleigh number thermal convection: heat flux predictions and strongly nonlinear solutions.
