convected
Moved by currents
Convected is the past tense and past participle of convect, describing heat or fluid that has been transferred through convection—the circular motion that occurs when warmer, less dense material rises and cooler, denser material sinks to take its place.
Heat convected from the radiator warmed the entire room.
The term appears mainly in scientific and technical contexts discussing thermal dynamics or fluid mechanics.
