In fluid dynamics, a convection cell is the phenomenon that occurs when density differences exist within a body of liquid or gas. These density differences...

A convection zone, convective zone or convective region of a star is a layer which is unstable due to convection. Energy is primarily or partially transported...

Atmospheric convection is the vertical transport of heat and moisture in the atmosphere. It occurs when warmer, less dense air rises, while cooler, denser...

In fluid thermodynamics, Rayleigh–Bénard convection is a type of natural convection, occurring in a planar horizontal layer of fluid heated from below...

Forced convection is a mechanism, or type of transport, in which fluid motion is generated by an external source (like a pump, fan, suction device, etc...

The convection–diffusion equation is a parabolic partial differential equation that combines the diffusion and convection (advection) equations. It describes...

Marklund convection, named after Swedish physicist Göran Marklund, is a convection process that takes place in filamentary currents of plasma. It occurs...

Mantle convection is the very slow creep of Earth's solid silicate mantle as convection currents carry heat from the interior to the planet's surface....

Convective overshoot is a phenomenon of convection carrying material beyond an unstable region of the atmosphere into a stratified, stable region. Overshoot...

why this phenomenon occurs? More unsolved problems in physics Granular convection is a phenomenon where granular material subjected to shaking or vibration...

air tends to rise in an updraft through the process of convection (hence the term convective precipitation). This process creates a low-pressure zone...

A thermal column (or thermal) is a rising mass of buoyant air, a convective current in the atmosphere, that transfers heat energy vertically. Thermals...

A convection heater, also known as a convector heater, is a type of heater that utilizes convection currents to heat and circulate air. These currents...

Open ocean convection is a process in which the mesoscale ocean circulation and large, strong winds mix layers of water at different depths. Fresher water...
