Recent experimental, numerical and theoretical advances in turbulent Rayleigh-Bénard convection are presented. Particular emphasis is given to the physics and structure of the thermal and velocity boundary layers which play a key role for the better understanding of the turbulent transport of heat and momentum in convection at high and very high Rayleigh numbers. We also discuss important extensions of Rayleigh-Bénard convection such as non-Oberbeck-Boussinesq effects and convection with phase changes.

• Scaling regimes in spherical shell rotating convection (2016, background): “In addition, the Grossmann & Lohse (2000) theory predicts a further increase of νeff beyond Ra = 10 9 to reach νeff = 1/3 (Chillà & Schumacher 2012).”
