1. The Rayleigh number is equal to (Formula presented) where Δ denotes the temperature difference between the bottom and top plates, (Formula presented) m the fluid layer thickness, (Formula presented) the acceleration of gravity, (Formula presented) the coefficient of thermal expansion, (Formula presented) the kinematic viscosity, and (Formula presented) the thermal diffusivity. Sometimes the Grashof number Gr=Ra/Pr is used instead, where Pr is the Prandtl number equal to Pr=ν/κ.
