title: Coherent structures in boundary layers of Rayleigh-Bénard convection.
abstract: A coherent structure is revealed experimentally by a dyeing technique in the boundary layer of Rayleigh-Bénard convection in water. Dye accumulates in streaks aligned with the mean flow. Possible mechanisms for the formation of these streaks are discussed.
