摘要
In a low temperature He gas Rayleigh-Benard experiment, Rayleigh numbers from 10(3) to more than 10(14) are explored. Local velocity is estimated through the time lag between two closeby temperature probes. This allows characterizing of the high Rayleigh regime (Ra > 10(11)) as a fully turbulent one, possibly corresponding to the asymptotic regime predicted by R. Kraichnan [Phys. Fluids 5, 1374 (1962)]. [S0031-9007(97)04440-2].
