Turbulent Convection at Very High Rayleigh Numbers and the Weakly Nonlinear Theory

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 horizontal wavenumber. In light of later observations of a robust large-scale circulation sweeping through convecting enclo...
