Supergranule aggregation, i.e. the gradual aggregation of convection cells to horizontally extended networks of flow structures, is a unique feature of constant heat flux-driven turbulent convection. In the present study, we address the question if this mechanism of self-organisation of the flow is present for any fluid. Therefore, we analyse three-dimensional Rayleigh–Bénard convection at a fixed Rayleigh number on the global heat and momentum transport, and clarify the role of a potential stable stratification in the bulk of the fluid layer. The ubiquity of the investigated mechanism of flow self-organisation underlines its relevance for pattern formation in geophysical and astrophysical convection flows, the latter of which are often driven by prescribed heat fluxes.
