Convective momentum transport — in the atmosphere it is an exchange of momentum usually due to vertical motion associated with clouds. The essential processes responsible for cloud convective momentum transport in tropics are: (i) the vertical momentum advection due to… … Wikipedia
Convective heat transfer — See also: Heat transfer and convection This figure shows a calculation for thermal convection. Colors closer to red are hot areas and colors closer to blue are cold areas. In this figure, a hot, less dense lower boundary layer sends plumes… … Wikipedia

Heat transfer — is a discipline of thermal engineering that concerns the exchange of thermal energy from one physical system to another. Heat transfer is classified into various mechanisms, such as heat conduction, convection, thermal radiation, and phase change … Wikipedia
Hayashi track — The Hayashi track is a path taken by protostars in the Hertzsprung Russell diagram after the protostellar cloud has reached approximate hydrostatic equilibrium. In 1961 Chushiro Hayashi showed that there is a minimum effective temperature… … Wikipedia
