    Lagrangian Raylaigh-Bénard convection

    No full text
    Using passive tracers as sensors, we obtain Lagrangian measurements of tracers position, velocity and temperature in Rayleigh-Bénard convection at Ra ∼ 107 ÷ 109. We report on statistics of temperature, velocity, and heat transport (Nusselt number). We observe that the Nusselt number is characterized by a largely intermittent behavior, likely due to the interaction of temperature with turbulent velocity fluctuations
