Abstract

Thermal convection in a layer heated form below is an exemplary case for the study of non-linear fluid dynamics and the transition to turbulence. An outline is given of the present knowledge of the simplest realisation of convection in a layer of fluid satisfying the Oberbeck-Boussinesq approximation. Non-linear properties such as the dependence of the heat transport on Rayleigh and Prandtl numbers and the stability properties of convection rolls are emphasised in the discussion. Whenever possible, theoretical results are compared with experimental observations. A section on convection in rotating systems has been included, but the influence of other additional physical effects such as magnetic fields, side wall geometry, etc., has not been considered.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Under conditions of small convective Rossby number and negligible viscous momentum dissipation and thermal diffusion, convective plumes are columns aligned with M_V surfaces because rapid rotation inhibits motion perpendicular to M_V surfaces in the absence of viscous or other stresses.

    “Under these circumstances, convective plumes are columns aligned with M V surfaces because, as above, rapid rotation inhibits motion perpendicular to M V surfaces in the absence of viscous or other stresses (e.g., Busse 1976Busse , 1978;;Kaspi et al. 2009;Jones et al. 2009).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
