Experimental investigation of energy cascades, coherent structures and scalar mixing in convective thermal turbulence.

In the first part of the thesis, we carried out direct two-dimensional (2D) multipoint measurements of the velocity fields in a turbulent Rayleigh-Benard convection cell to study the properties of small-scale convective turbulence. The local homogeneity and isotropy of the velocity field are tested...
