Double-diffusive convection arises in stratified fluids where two properties – typically heat and solute (for example, salt) – diffuse at different rates, leading to intricate and sometimes ...

Limnology and Oceanography, Vol. 64, No. 2 (March 2019), pp. 650-660 (11 pages) Double diffusion in lakes and oceans can transform vertical gradients into staircases of convectively mixed layers ...

Many arguments suggest the existence of compositional gradients in giant planet interiors, as a consequence of either their formation process or their cooling history 10,11,12,13. However, the effect ...
