Extract

Truncated modal expansions have provided a powerful, reasonably accurate and flexible approach to the problem of non-linear thermal convection. They permit tractable numerical solutions of three-dimensional cellular motions, as well as readily accommodating large density variations, time dependence, rotation and magnetic fields.
