transport mechanism involving bulk motion of a medium
Convection is that mode of transport or mass or energy which results from bulk motion of the transporting medium. The term is commonly used to describe transport of heat energy and/or momentum. Convection is principally of two types- natural and forced. Natural convection results from gradient in the density of a medium, while forced convection results from an external forcing agent e.g a pressure gradient.
