Dynamics of fingering convection II: The formation of thermohaline staircases
S. Stellmach, A. Traxler, P. Garaud +2
Regions of the ocean's thermocline unstable to salt fingering are often observed to host thermohaline staircases, stacks of deep well-mixed convective layers separated by thin stab…

Dynamics of fingering convection I: Small-scale fluxes and large-scale instabilities
A. Traxler, S. Stellmach, P. Garaud +2
Double-diffusive instabilities are often invoked to explain enhanced transport in stably-stratified fluids. The most-studied natural manifestation of this process, fingering convec…
