Abstract
Measurements of heat transport through horizontal layers of fluid heated from below are reported for three aspect ratios .They show that for the fluid flow is turbulent, in the sense that it has an a nonperiodic time dependence, for numbers with is the critical for onset of fluid flow). For , we find . For , a quasiperiodic state exists for , with and .
