Scaling Laws in Rayleigh‐Bénard Convection

The heat transfer scaling theories for Rayleigh‐Bénard convection (RBC) are reviewed and discussed for configurations with and without rotation and magnetic fields. Scaling laws are a useful tool in studying and characterizing geophysical flows as they provide a basis for extrapolation to extreme pa...
