The mechanism for transfer of heat from a solid surface (such as a component) to a surrounding fluid (usually air). Natural convection is heat transfer to ‘still` air; forced convection involves heat transfer to air that is moved by artificial means such as a fan.

Convection is the transfer of heat within a fluid (a gas or a liquid) by means of motion of the fluid (fluids are very poor conductors). In natural convection, currents of warm and cold fluid arise by virtue of the warmer parts being less dense than the cooler parts. Thus the warmer fluid rises and the colder fluid sinks under the influence of grav...

Atmospheric or oceanic motions that are predominately vertical and that result in vertical transport and mixing of atmospheric or oceanic properties. Because the most striking meteorological features result if atmospheric convective motion occurs in conjunction with the rising current of air (i.e., updrafts), convection is sometimes used to imply o...
