The Navier-Stokes equation driven by heat conduction is studied. As a prototype we consider Rayleigh-B\'enard convection, in the Boussinesq approximation. Under a large aspect ratio assumption, which is the case in Rayleigh-B\'enard…

Convection is a fundamental fluid transport phenomenon, where the large-scale motion of a fluid is driven, for example, by a thermal gradient or an electric potential. Modeling convection has given rise to the development of chaos theory…

In an Oberbeck-Boussinesq model, rigorously derived, which includes compressibility, one could expect that the onset of convection for the B\'enard problem occurs at a higher critical Rayleigh number. Since of the difficulties related to…
In turbulent Rayleigh-B\'enard convection one seeks the relationship between the heat transport, captured by the Nusselt number, and the temperature drop across the convecting layer, captured by Rayleigh number. In experiments, one measures…
