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 heat, by means of currents induced in the fluid by buoyancy forces which are dependent on gravity acting upon density differences within the fluid.

free convection

(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.

plural of convection cell

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

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

convection microwave oven
