Abstract: The shape of velocity and temperature profiles near the horizontal conducting plates in turbulent Rayleigh-B'{e}nard convection are studied numerically and experimentally over the Rayleigh number range 108lesssimRalesssim3imes1011 and the Prandtl number range 0.7lesssimPrlesssim5.4. The results show that both the temperature and velocity profiles well agree with the classical Prandtl-Blasius laminar boundary-layer profiles, if they are re-sampled in the respective dynamical reference frames that fluctuate with the instantaneous thermal and velocity boundary-layer thicknesses.
