"Advection" - haven't heard that word in so long I've forgotten it.
What is the difference between "advection" and "convection" in their
technical meanings? Even after consulting a dictionary I can't tell:
both seem to mean a change in the properties of a fluid due to
large-scale mixing. Even the Latin doesn't help me: "advection" means
"to carry to," while "convection" means "to carry together."
