These conditions generate a strong coupling between heat transport and flow dynamics, requiring specific modeling to account for the effects of anisothermy on flow dynamics. In this article, we focus in particular on energy transfers between turbulent scales and thermal scales. A spectral analysis is developed and presented.}}
