The diploma thesis deals with the study of Rayleigh-Bénard convection for Rayleigh numbers in the range 1E8-1E14. The evaluated data come from an experiment with cryogenic helium in a cylindrical cell in a configuration with cell diameter D = 30 cm, height L = 30 cm and a second configuration with cell diameter D = 30 cm, height L = 15 cm. Miniature sensors recorded temperature fluctuations over time under various physical conditions and properties of helium. Using MATLAB software, the output parameters of the system (Nusselt and Reynolds numbers) and their dependence on the control parameters (Rayleigh and Prandtl numbers) were determined from the measured data. A new approach to the distribution of measured signals according to the direction of large scale circulation was used in the work, which leads to improved analysis. Reynolds numbers were evaluated using the so-called elliptic method. Furthermore, the work deals with the study of the coherent structure of the large scale circulation inside the cell.
