forced air circulation
Explanation:
Again, Nick, not certain on this, but knowing a little about what you're talking about :-) I think this may be better than simple convection (sorry Cilian). And sorry I can't offer anything better.

convection


Explanation:
only guessing - not enough context

if the Zuluft is cold and is fed to the ceiling, that would give rise to convection as the hot/warm air rises.

Beware, I could be be way off the mark here.

or if the Zuluft is warm (warmer than the other air in the room) and rises to the ceiling, the effect would be the same, i.e. convection
