How does heat travel through fluid?

Heat convection occurs when bulk flow of a fluid (gas or liquid) carries heat along with the flow of matter in the fluid. The flow of fluid may be forced by external processes, or sometimes (in gravitational fields) by buoyancy forces caused when thermal energy expands the fluid (for example in a fire plume), thus influencing its own transfer. The latter process is sometimes called "natural convection". All convective processes also move heat partly by diffusion, as well. Another form of convection is forced convection. In this case the fluid is forced to flow by use of a pump, fan or other mechanical mean


How is heat transferred through the body?

Heat relies on the flow of a fluid to transport it from the object being cooled to the surrounding environment!


Does the flow that transfer heat within a fluid is called convection current?

Not unless the fluid is flowing due to temperature/density differences.
