Statistical properties of turbulent Rayleigh-Bénard convection — •Johannes Lülff, Michael Wilczek, and Rudolf Friedrich — Institut für Theoretische Physik, Westfälische Wilhelms-Universität Münster

We use PDF methods to analyze turbulent Rayleigh-Bénard convection. The equations governing the PDFs are derived, and occuring unclosed terms are estimated from DNS data. For this DNS, we developed an easy-to-implement numerical scheme using penalization techniques.
