🌀 Rayleigh-Benard Convection - 2D Roll Cells and Lorenz Phase Plane

2D companion of the Rayleigh-Benard convection simulation: the Lorenz three-mode model drives a temperature field of convection rolls with a live X-Z phase plane and heat-transport graph, checked against steady-roll and onset formulas.
