Stability of the advective flow of a binary mixture in a horizontal layer with adiabatic boundaries

Stability and nonlinear regimes of stationary advective flows of binary fluids in a horizontal layer subjected to a homogeneous longitudinal temperature gradient are studied for the case of rigid adiabatic boundaries. The problem is considered taking into account the Soret effect. Stability maps in the parameter plane “Rayleigh number–separation ratio” are obtained for several typical binary fluids.
