Abstract:
Ultrahigh Reynolds (Re) and Rayleigh (Ra) number flow can be produced and studied under controlled laboratory conditions using cryogenic liquid and gaseous He. Recent results on Rayleigh–Benard convection, pipe flow and towed grid turbulence are discussed together with some aspects of the future development.
