plural of gravitational convection

plural of forced convection

plural of free convection

plural of natural convection

A loop of moving fluid (such as air or water) in which the motion results from differences in density caused by differences in temperature.

plural of convection cell

The transfer of heat by the movement of a fluid, usually as the result of convection

The convection (carriage) of contents of a fluid, such as mass or (especially) heat, by means of currents induced in the fluid by a force which is not dependent on density changes in the fluid induced by heat.

(physics) The convection (carriage) of contents of a fluid, such as mass or (especially) heat, by means of currents induced in the fluid by a buoyancy force which is dependent on an acceleration (such as gravity) acting upon density changes in the fluid which are induced by heat.
