convective plume
A buoyant jet in which the buoyancy is supplied steadily from a point source; the buoyant region is continuous. This is to be distinguished from a thermal, which is a discrete buoyant element in which the buoyancy is confined to a limited volume of fluid. A chimney plume is usually a convective plume. See coherent structures; compare coning, fanning, lofting, looping.
