摘要
We report experimental results for the heat transport, as expressed by the Nusselt number Nu, by turbulent Rayleigh-Benard convection in a cylindrical sample of aspect ratio Gamma equivalent to D/L = 0.50 (D = 1.12 m is the diameter and L = 2.24 m the height). The measurements are for the Rayleigh-number range 10(12) less than or similar to Ra less than or similar to 10(15) and for a Prandtl number Pr similar or equal to 0.86. At these large Ra the results were exceptionally sensitive to details of the experiment. Near Ra = 10(15) the Nusselt number could be caused to vary over the range 3500 less than or similar to Nu less than or similar to 5800 by minor changes in the apparatus or operating procedure.
