Two and three-dimensional computations have enlarged our understanding of nonlinear convection, particularly in Boussinesq fluids. However, we cannot adequately predict the relationship between convective heat transport and the superadiabatic temperature gradient. Nor is there any indication of a preferred length scale, other than the depth of the convecting layer, in a compressible fluid.
