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 $10^{8}lesssimRalesssim3imes10^{11}$ 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.
