Reference and peer-reviewed literature define convection as a combined advection and diffusion transport mechanism, while confirming that advection represents transport via bulk fluid motion.

Convection is the transfer of heat through the physical movement of fluids (liquids or gases), where warmer, less-dense material rises and cooler, denser material sinks.
It is a single-phase or multiphase fluid flow that occurs spontaneously through the combined effects of material property heterogeneity and body forces on a fluid. When the cause of the convection is unspecified, convection due to
Convective flow may be transient (such as when a multiphase mixture of oil and water separates) or steady state (see convection cell). The convection may be due to gravitational, electromagnetic or fictitious body forces. Heat transfer by natural convection plays a role in the structure of Earth's atmosphere, its oceans, and its mantle. Discrete convective cells in the atmosphere can be identified by clouds, with stronger convection resulting in thunderstorms. Natural convection also plays a role in stellar physics. Convection is often categorised or described by the main effect causing the convective flow; for example, thermal convection.
Convection may also take place in soft solids or mixtures where particles can flow. Convection cannot take place in most solids because neither bulk current flows nor significant diffusion of matter can take place.
Granular convection is a similar phenomenon in granular material instead of fluids.
Advection is the transport of any substance or quantity (such as heat) through fluid motion.
Convection is a process involving bulk movement of a fluid that usually leads to a net transfer of heat through advection. Convective heat transfer is the intentional use of convection as a method for heat transfer.
Convection is a combined advection and diffusion transport mechanism; the respective mechanism corresponds to the bulk motion and the random motion of the molecule. For the energy transport, the computation of non-uniform spatial distributions (in a computational domain) of conduction flux and enthalpy flux is presented separately in the last two chapters, and is considered in combination in this chapter. Thus, the numerical methodology for the present chapter is a combination of the methodology presented in the last two chapters.
transport by advection and diffusion/conduction. Free, or natural, convection occurs when bulk fluid motions (streams and currents) are caused by buoyancy
Heat transfer is a discipline of thermal engineering that concerns the generation, use, conversion, and exchange of thermal energy (heat) between physical systems. Heat transfer is classified into various mechanisms, such as thermal conduction, thermal convection, thermal radiation, transfer of energy by phase changes, and evaporative cooling. Engineers also consider the transfer of mass of differ
The flow of fluid may be forced by external processes, or sometimes (in gravitational fields) by buoyancy forces caused when thermal energy expands the fluid (for example in a fire plume), thus influencing its own transfer. The latter process is often called "natural convection". All convective processes also move heat partly by diffusion, as well. Another form of convection is forced convection. In this case, the fluid is forced to flow by using a pump, fan, or other mechanical means.
Convective heat transfer, or simply, convection, is the transfer of heat from one place to another by the movement of fluids, a process that is essentially the transfer of heat via mass transfer. The bulk motion of fluid enhances heat transfer in many physical situations, such as between a solid surface and the fluid. Convection is usually the dominant form of heat transfer in liquids and gases. Although sometimes discussed as a third method of heat…
