We present different results from high-resolution high-statistics direct numerical simulations of a three-dimensional convective cell. We test the fundamental physical picture of the presence of both a Bolgiano-Obhukhov-like and a Kolmogorov-like regime. We find that the dimensional predictions for these two distinct regimes (characterized, respectively, by an active and passive role of the temperature field) are consistent with our analysis.

Abstract
We present different results from high-resolution high-statistics direct numerical simulations of a three-dimensional convective cell. We test the fundamental physical picture of the presence of both a Bolgiano-Obhukhov-like and a Kolmogorov-like regime. We find that the dimensional predictions for these two distinct regimes (characterized, respectively, by an active and passive role of the temperature field) are consistent with our analysis.File in questo prodotto:
