Non-linear Convection with Free Boundaries

Extract
In an IAU Symposium report, Spiegel has made mention of the basic reasons for the astrophysical interest in the problem of non-linear convection of a horizontal fluid layer heated from below. Unfortunately the two important parameters of this problem—the Prandtl number P and the Rayleigh number R take on ‘extreme’ values in the astrophysical situation and this presents immediate difficulties as far as the numerical solution of the basic equations go.
