What exactly is the difference between advection and convection?
After reading Wikipedia articles on advection and convection, I still cannot determine whether there is a consensus on a difference between these two terms. Sometimes, the term convection seems to …
What is the exact difference between diffusion, convection and …
convection = diffusion + advection. That is, convection is the sum of fluid movement due to bulk transport of the media (like the water in a river flowing down a stream - advection) and the …
