Abstract
In order to understand the development of the plume in turbulent thermal convection, the temporal and spatial variations of temperature and velocity in the horizontal fluid layer are measured by the scanning liquid crystal thermometry and stereo-velocimetry. It is found that the growth of the plume is mainly associated with the temperature field near the heated boundary, while it is greatly influenced by the three-dimensional velocity field induced by the buoyancy.
