air circulation

Flow of breath

Air circulation is the movement of air within a space or system, whether driven by natural forces like temperature differences or mechanical means like fans and HVAC systems.

Good air circulation prevents stagnant air, distributes heat or cooling evenly, and helps maintain air quality.

The room felt stuffy until we improved the air circulation.

In meteorology, air circulation refers to large-scale atmospheric movement patterns that distribute heat around the globe.
