If, for instance, we place a thermometer directly before a fire, it soon begins to rise, indicating an increase of temperature. In this case the heat has made its way through the space between the fire and the thermometer, by the process termed <i><a href="/wiki/Radiation" title="Radiation">radiation</a></i>. If we place a second thermometer in contact with any part of the grate, and away from the direct influence of the fire, we shall find that this thermometer also denotes an increase of temperature; but here the heat must have travelled through the metal of the grate, by what is termed <i><a href="/wiki/Thermal_conduction" title="Thermal conduction">conduction</a></i>. Lastly, a third thermometer placed in the chimney, away from the direct influence of the fire, will also indicate a considerable increase of temperature; in this case a portion of the air, passing through and near the fire, has become heated, and has <i>carried</i> up the chimney the temperature acquired from the fire. There is at present no single term in our language employed to denote this third mode of the propagation of heat; but we venture to propose for that purpose, the term <i>convection</i>, [in footnote: [Latin] <i>Convectio</i>, a carrying or conveying] which not only expresses the leading fact, but also accords very well with the two other terms. </p></blockquote> <p>Later, in the same treatise VIII, in the book on <a href="/wiki/Meteorology" title="Meteorology">meteorology</a>, the concept of convection is also applied to "the process by which heat is communicated through water". </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Terminology">Terminology</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Convection&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Terminology"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Today, the word <i>convection</i> has different but related usages in different scientific or engineering contexts or applications. </p><p>In <a href="/wiki/Fluid_mechanics" title="Fluid mechanics">fluid mechanics</a>, <i>convection</i> has a broader sense: it refers to the motion of fluid driven by density (or other property) difference.<sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>In <a href="/wiki/Thermodynamics" title="Thermodynamics">thermodynamics</a>, <i>convection</i> often refers to <a href="/wiki/Convection_(heat_transfer)" title="Convection (heat transfer)">heat transfer by convection</a>, where the prefixed variant Natural Convection is used to distinguish the fluid mechanics concept of Convection (covered in this article) from convective heat transfer.<sup id="cite_ref-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Some phenomena which result in an effect superficially similar to that of a convective cell may also be (inaccurately) referred to as a form of convection; for example, <a href="/wiki/Marangoni_effect" title="Marangoni effect">thermo-capillary convection</a> and <a href="/wiki/Granular_convection" title="Granular convection">granular convection</a>. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Mechanisms">Mechanisms</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Convection&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Mechanisms"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Convection may happen in <a href="/wiki/Fluids" class="mw-redirect" title="Fluids">fluids</a> at all scales larger than a few atoms.

In most cases this leads to <b>natural circulation</b>: the ability of a fluid in a system to circulate continuously under gravity, with transfer of heat energy. </p><p>The driving force for natural convection is gravity. In a column of fluid, pressure increases with depth from the weight of the overlying fluid. The pressure at the bottom of a submerged object then exceeds that at the top, resulting in a net upward <a href="/wiki/Buoyancy" title="Buoyancy">buoyancy</a> force equal to the weight of the displaced fluid. Objects of higher density than that of the displaced fluid then sink. For example, regions of warmer low-density air rise, while those of colder high-density air sink. This creates a circulating flow: convection. </p><p>Gravity drives natural convection. Without gravity, convection does not occur, so there is no convection in free-fall (<a href="/wiki/Inertial" class="mw-redirect" title="Inertial">inertial</a>) environments, such as that of the orbiting International Space Station. Natural convection can occur when there are hot and cold regions of either air or water, because both water and air become less dense as they are heated. But, for example, in the world's oceans it also occurs due to salt water being heavier than fresh water, so a layer of salt water on top of a layer of fresher water will also cause convection. </p><p>Natural convection has attracted a great deal of attention from researchers because of its presence both in nature and engineering applications. In nature, convection cells formed from air raising above sunlight-warmed land or water are a major feature of all weather systems. Convection is also seen in the rising plume of hot air from <a href="/wiki/Fire" title="Fire">fire</a>, <a href="/wiki/Plate_tectonics" title="Plate tectonics">plate tectonics</a>, oceanic currents (<a href="/wiki/Thermohaline_circulation" title="Thermohaline circulation">thermohaline circulation</a>) and sea-wind formation (where upward convection is also modified by <a href="/wiki/Coriolis_force" title="Coriolis force">Coriolis forces</a>). In engineering applications, convection is commonly visualized in the formation of microstructures during the cooling of molten metals, and fluid flows around shrouded heat-dissipation fins, and solar ponds. A very common industrial application of natural convection is free air cooling without the aid of fans: this can happen on small scales (computer chips) to large scale process equipment. </p><p>Natural convection will be more likely and more rapid with a greater variation in density between the two fluids, a larger acceleration due to gravity that drives the convection or a larger distance through the convecting medium. Natural convection will be less likely and less rapid with more rapid diffusion (thereby diffusing away the thermal gradient that is causing the convection) or a more viscous (sticky) fluid. </p><p>The onset of natural convection can be determined by the <a href="/wiki/Rayleigh_number" title="Rayleigh number">Rayleigh number</a> (<b>Ra</b>). </p><p>Differences in buoyancy within a fluid can arise for reasons other than temperature variations, in which case the fluid motion is called <b>gravitational convection</b> (see below). However, all types of buoyant convection, including natural convection, do not occur in <a href="/wiki/Microgravity" class="mw-redirect" title="Microgravity">microgravity</a> environments. All require the presence of an environment which experiences <a href="/wiki/G-force" title="G-force">g-force</a> (<a href="/wiki/Proper_acceleration" title="Proper acceleration">proper acceleration</a>). </p><p>The difference of <a href="/wiki/Density" title="Density">density</a> in the fluid is the key driving mechanism. If the differences of density are caused by heat, this force is called as "thermal head" or "thermal driving head." A fluid system designed for natural circulation will have a heat source and a <a href="/wiki/Heat_sink" title="Heat sink">heat sink</a>. Each of these is in contact with some of the fluid in the system, but not all of it. The heat source is positioned lower than the heat sink. </p><p>Most fluids expand when heated, becoming less <a href="/wiki/Density" title="Density">dense</a>, and contract when cooled, becoming denser. At the heat source of a system of natural circulation, the heated fluid becomes lighter than the fluid surrounding it, and thus rises. At the heat sink, the nearby fluid becomes denser as it cools, and is drawn downward by gravity. Together, these effects create a flow of fluid from the heat source to the heat sink and back again. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Gravitational_or_buoyant_convection">Gravitational or buoyant convection</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Convection&action=edit&section=5" title="Edit section: Gravitational or buoyant convection"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p><b>Gravitational convection</b> is a type of natural convection induced by buoyancy variations resulting from material properties other than temperature.

A rising body of fluid typically loses heat because it encounters a colder surface. In liquid, this occurs because it exchanges heat with colder liquid through direct exchange. In the example of the Earth's atmosphere, this occurs because it radiates heat. Because of this heat loss the fluid becomes denser than the fluid underneath it, which is still rising. Since it cannot descend through the rising fluid, it moves to one side. At some distance, its downward force overcomes the rising force beneath it, and the fluid begins to descend. As it descends, it warms again and the cycle repeats itself. Additionally, convection cells can arise due to density variations resulting from differences in the composition of electrolytes.<sup id="cite_ref-13" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-13"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>13<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Atmospheric_convection">Atmospheric convection</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Convection&action=edit&section=13" title="Edit section: Atmospheric convection"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951"><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">Main article: <a href="/wiki/Atmospheric_convection" title="Atmospheric convection">Atmospheric convection</a></div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="Atmospheric_circulation">Atmospheric circulation</h4><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Convection&action=edit&section=14" title="Edit section: Atmospheric circulation"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951"><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">Main article: <a href="/wiki/Atmospheric_circulation" title="Atmospheric circulation">Atmospheric circulation</a></div> <figure class="mw-halign-left" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Earth_Global_Circulation.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/6d/Earth_Global_Circulation.jpg/300px-Earth_Global_Circulation.jpg" decoding="async" width="300" height="257" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/6d/Earth_Global_Circulation.jpg/450px-Earth_Global_Circulation.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/6/6d/Earth_Global_Circulation.jpg 2x" data-file-width="556" data-file-height="477" /></a><figcaption>Idealised depiction of the global circulation on Earth</figcaption></figure> <p><b>Atmospheric circulation</b> is the large-scale movement of air, and is a means by which <a href="/wiki/Thermal_energy" title="Thermal energy">thermal energy</a> is distributed on the surface of the <a href="/wiki/Earth" title="Earth">Earth</a>, together with the much slower (lagged) ocean circulation system.

As the heat flow is increased, above a critical value of the <a href="/wiki/Rayleigh_number" title="Rayleigh number">Rayleigh number</a>, the system undergoes a <a href="/wiki/Bifurcation_theory" title="Bifurcation theory">bifurcation</a> from the stable <i>conducting</i> state to the <i>convecting</i> state, where bulk motion of the fluid due to heat begins. If fluid parameters other than density do not depend significantly on temperature, the flow profile is symmetric, with the same volume of fluid rising as falling. This is known as <a href="/wiki/Boussinesq_approximation_(buoyancy)" title="Boussinesq approximation (buoyancy)">Boussinesq</a> convection. </p><p>As the temperature difference between the top and bottom of the fluid becomes higher, significant differences in fluid parameters other than density may develop in the fluid due to temperature. An example of such a parameter is <a href="/wiki/Viscosity" title="Viscosity">viscosity</a>, which may begin to significantly vary horizontally across layers of fluid. This breaks the symmetry of the system, and generally changes the pattern of up- and down-moving fluid from stripes to hexagons, as seen at right. Such hexagons are one example of a <a href="/wiki/Convection_cell" title="Convection cell">convection cell</a>. </p><p>As the <a href="/wiki/Rayleigh_number" title="Rayleigh number">Rayleigh
