Abstract

A series of three-dimensional computations are conducted to investigate convective flow generated by an interaction between a vertical solute gradient and a horizontal thermal gradient. The convection develops into what is called a fully developed flow which is composed of the largest number of horizontal convection layers. Within each layer there prevails an array of salt-finger vortices. The multilayered structure changes systematically with boundary values, while the convection layer bears a layer thickness, so that the positive thermal buoyancy can balance with the negative solute buoyancy.
