Extract

The numerical solution of the basic equations for non-linear steady convection in the weak-coupling approximation is exceedingly difficult. In astronomical applications the Rayleigh number R will be of the order of1012, and we wish to report here some results obtained in the case of high Rayleigh numbers with the use of an asymptotic method.
