Resolving the fine-scale structure in turbulent Rayleigh–Bénard convection

We present high-resolution direct numerical simulation studies of turbulent Rayleigh–Bénard convection in a closed cylindrical cell with an aspect ratio of one. The focus of our analysis is on the finest scales of convective turbulence, in particular the statistics of the kinetic energy and thermal...
