Abstract

Is it possible to reach a regime of ultimate turbulence in thermal convection? Previous experiments with mercury and helium have suggested a transition towards this regime. But an extended experiment with mercury failed to find any evidence for this 'ultimate' state. This issue influences our understanding of large-scale systems such as the atmosphere — a complex case of natural convection.
