Table 1.
Kolmogorov time scale, τη (in seconds), as a function of Ro for the measurements at the cell centre and close to the top plate. The dissipation rates are calculated from DNS data (Rajaei et al. 2016b). The dissipation rates from DNS are for slightly different Ro numbers, but we expect that they are still representative for the current experiments given the weak Ro-dependence displayed here.
