Abstract

Laboratory experiments and numerical simulations of internally heated convection are reviewed. The emphasis is on quantitative results, especially integral quantities important to heat transport and their dependence on the Rayleigh number, which is proportional to the heating rate. For all experiments and three-dimensional simulations, the various measures of mean temperature can be fit to powers of the rate of volumetric heating. The exponents of these fits range from 0. 75 to 0. 77 when the bottom is insulating, and they range from 0. 78 to 0. 82 when the top and bottom are fixed at equal temperatures. In the latter configuration, the fraction of internally produced heat flowing outward across the bottom boundary falls quite slowly as heating is strengthened. When this fraction is fit to a power of the heating rate, the fit exponents lie between − 0. 049 and − 0. 099.
