Completing the mechanical energy pathways in turbulent Rayleigh-Bénard convection

Gayen, Bishakhdatta; Hughes, Graham; Griffiths, Ross

Description

A new, more complete view of the mechanical energy budget for Rayleigh-Bénard convection is developed and examined using three-dimensional numerical simulations at large Rayleigh numbers and Prandtl number of 1. The driving role of available potential en
