Abstract
In nature the transport of energy and matter in fluids is determined by diffusion and advection. These processes induce fluxes of energy and matter, of which the mathematical description is derived by continuum mechanics. Diffusion is a random process taking place at all times and leading to a net transport only under certain conditions. Advection is caused by an ambient flow which transports energy and matter.
