Abstract
Numerical continuation is used to follow branches of steady doubly diffusive convection in a vertical slot driven by imposed horizontal temperature and concentration gradients. No-slip boundary conditions are used on the lateral walls; periodic boundary conditions with large spatial period are used in the vertical direction. A variety of different states, both spatially periodic and spatially localized, are identified and the profusion of the resulting solution branches is linked to a phenomenon known as homoclinic snaking.
