| Domain | Definition |
Electrical Engineering | A continuous, closed convection system, fluid that rises being replaced by fluid from elsewhere. In tectonics, a pattern of mass movements of mantle material in which the central area is uprising and the outer area is down flowing, due to heat variations. Source: European Union. (references) |
Geography | In a well-organized process of convection, a given mass of air in which there is a systematic pattern of internal motion and little or no mixing with neighbouring masses. Source: European Union. (references) |
