Design and tests of the cryostat with an experimental cell for turbulent thermal convection

Abstract

Cryogenic helium gas is a useful working fluid for experimental studies of thermal convection. We have designed the cryostat equipped with the experimental cell for experimental investigation of cryogenic turbulent convection at very high Rayleigh numbers (10e6 < Ra <2e15) with cryogenic 4He gas as a working fluid.
