I didn't mean that convection is only relevant for atmospheric effects. My
point was that since the particle_system patch takes into account
temperature, but not density, the convection only works correctly when the
density of the particles and the density of the surroundings are equal, such
as smoke in air. If I am mistaken here, please correct me.
