Extract

It has been suggested, for example by Wilson and Spiegel, that the results from the study of convection in incompressible fluids may provide a basis for the study of the solar convection zone. In fact Wilson’s models contain temperature fluctuation maxima, a feature exhibited by the results obtained from the convection problem for large values of the Rayleigh number.
