Viscous Boundary Layers in Turbulent Rayleigh-Bénard Convection

Sample Data Plots

The plots below show profiles of the mean and rms wall-parallel velocity, and rms wall-normal velocity, on the cylinder centreline, from the experimental measurements and DNS for both Ra=3×109 and 3×1010 cases.

The plots below shows the variation of the dynamic and thermal boundary layers with Ra from both the measurements and DNS.
