convection cells in fluids (viscous liquids, gases)
Convection cells in fluids refer to the circular motion of fluid particles caused by the transfer of heat within the fluid. This phenomenon occurs in both viscous liquids and gases. As warmer fluid rises due to its decreased density, it creates a cycle of ascending and descending movements, forming distinct patterns of circulating cells.
