Dear Bean,

Thanks for those definitions--clearly written and easy to understand!

You wrote:

Advect - (verb) to be "dragged along" with the current. Little oceanic suspended things, like plankton, are advected - they move where the current goes - they can't swim of their own accord. Velocity can also be advected. (Now try and wrap your minds around THAT - I'm still not pleased with it myself!) The noun is "advection".


...When velocity is advected, is it anything like the draft effect in racing? Seriously. Is it akin to two forces enhancing each other's force once they work in tendem?

Curious,
WW
