Double-diffusive convection is a mixing process driven by the interaction of two fluid
components which diffuse at different rates. Leading expert Timour Radko presents the first …

Double-diffusive instabilities are often invoked to explain enhanced transport in stably
stratified fluids. The most-studied natural manifestation of this process, fingering convection …

Double‐diffusive mixing gives rise to layered structures in the Arctic Ocean: layers within a
double‐diffusive staircase overlying deeper layers associated with thermohaline intrusions …

Fingering convection (otherwise known as thermohaline convection) is an instability that
occurs in stellar radiative interiors in the presence of unstable compositional gradients …

We continue our investigation into the non-linear evolution of the Goldreich–Schubert–
Fricke (GSF) instability in differentially rotating radiation zones. This instability may be a key …

This study attempts to explain the evolutionary pattern of a series of well-mixed layers
separated by thin high-gradient interfaces frequently observed in stratified fluids. Such …

As the only deep hypersaline, halite‐precipitating lake on Earth today, the Dead Sea is the
single modern analog for investigating the mechanisms by which large‐scale and thick salt …

We have identified a potentially important source of mixing in stellar radiation zones which
would arise whenever two conditions are satisfied:(1) the presence of an inverse vertical …

In this work we show that horizontal gradients of temperature and salinity with compensating
effects on density can drive thermohaline intrusion in the fluid layer below. Specifically …
