Our unifying theory of turbulent thermal convection Grossmann and Lohse, J. Fluid. Mech. 407, 27 (2000); Phys. Rev. Lett. 86, 3316 (2001); Phys. Rev. E 66, 016305 (2002) is revisited, considering the role of thermal plumes for the thermal dissipation rate and addressing the local distribution of the thermal dissipation rate, which had numerically been calculated by Verzicco and Camussi J. Fluid Mech. 477, 19 (2003); Eur. Phys. J. B 35, 133 (2003). Predictions for the local heat flux and for the temperature and velocity fluctuations as functions of the Rayleigh and Prandtl numbers are offered. We conclude with a list of suggestions for measurements that seem suitable to verify or falsify our present understanding of heat transport and fluctuations in turbulent thermal convection.
