large-scale circulation in turbulent thermal convection.

A distinct feature of Rayleigh-Benard(RB) convection is the existence of a self-organized large-scale circulatory flow(LSC), also known as the "mean wind" of turbulence. This thesis is an experimental investigation of this LSC by using the particle image velocimetry and multi-thermal probe...
