Free convection from a heated sphere at large Grashof number

We consider the free-convective flow from a heated sphere, in the Boussinesq approximation, at high Grashof number. The characteristics of the boundary layer close to the surface of the sphere are evaluated numerically, and the eruption of the fluid from the boundary layer into the plume above the sphere is discussed.
