%X The ability of buoyant elements to carry heat upwards through a stably stratified fluid depends on their rate of mixing and hence on their size. The largest and smallest elements are both relatively ineffective and there exists an optimum intermediate size yielding a maximum value of the buoyant heat flux for a given intensity of temperature disturbance.
