0 the transport of a substance or of heat by the flow of a liquid:
Transport of pollutants in a river by bulk water flow downstream is an example of advection.
This movement can be viewed as the advection of fluid across a coordinate surface.
In oceanography, advection often refers to the horizontal transport of the heat, humidity or salinity of the ocean.
In this model, moisture transport is accomplished through advection.
A light breeze favours advection fog more than a stiff breeze.
The important feature which leads to chaotic advection is the breaking of heteroclinic orbits.
From left to right the bracketed groups of terms represent advection, production, diffusion and dissipation of turbulence energy.
Towards the end, the book gives a short but instructive introduction to the numerical simulation of turbulent diffusion and advection in the sea.
The ratio of the advection cooling to the local cooling decreases with increasing radii.
