Convective Plumes

Convective Plumes is a physical phenomenon characterized as a localized, buoyancy-driven flow of fluid that rises or falls within a stably stratified medium due to thermal or compositional density differences, distinguishing it from broader advective or diffusive transport mechanisms in convective systems.
