Annotation
The results of experimental determination of the critical Rayleigh number characterizing the onset of the turbulent free convection regime are presented. It is demonstrated that for the developed free convection regime, in the uppermost layer of water that is cooling from the surface, the Rayleigh number is 1105. This is consistent with the theoretical value for an interfacial layer with one boundary fixed and the other free.
