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 = 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 …

Apr 1, 2018 · Whereas advection is the transport of a substance by bulk motion;that is the movement of fluids down a pressure or temperature gradient. My confusion is that: when there …

My question has 2 parts: I just followed the derivation of Navier Stokes (for Control Volume CFD analysis) and was able to understand most parts. However, the book I use (by Versteeg) does …

Jan 20, 2015 · Your math is correct, $\left (\mathbf u\cdot\nabla\right)\mathbf u\equiv\mathbf u\cdot\left (\nabla\mathbf u\right)$. This should make sense because the commutative …

Sep 26, 2024 · I am trying to model transient temperature profile during fluid flow in pipe considering heat exchange with the surrounding. I am trying to use overall heat transfer …

Oct 19, 2016 · Convection is a combination of advection and diffusion, where the former is a macroscopic movement of bulk fluid and the latter is a microscopic movement of fluid particles. …

Apr 13, 2021 · For a 3D flow, the advection term in the x-momentum equation is $-\nabla \cdot (\rho u \vec {u})$. How does momentum flow in the y and z directions contribute to the …

Jul 24, 2015 · The 9 point stencil adds spatially "diagonal" components to the discretization. However, the advection part still has some pretty bad grid orientation problems. I was …
