This paper deals with natural convection driven by combined thermal and solutal buoyancy forces in a binary fluid. The configuration under study is a confined enclosure partially filled with a vertical porous layer. The mathematical description of the problem is based on a one-domain formulation of the conservation equations. The set of numerical results presented here quantitatively shows the influence of the porous layer on the flow structure and on heat and species transfer in the enclosure.The paper is focused on the analysis of the influence of the characteristic parameters governing double diffusive convection, namely the ratios of solutal and thermal parameters: the diffusivities and the buoyancy forces. Heat and mass transfer is analyzed as a function of the permeability of the porous layer. It is shown that the coupling of the flow penetration in the porous layer with the combined buoyancy forces induces a specific behavior of the flow structure and average heat transfer in the enclosure.
