Abstract
We investigate the thermal stability of a fluid layer salted from below, subject to finite slip on velocity and Robin conditions on temperature and solute concentration. We write analytical conditions for the onset of stationary convection, obtain simplified formulas for particularly symmetric cases, and draw the associated (convective) marginal regions in some significant cases. Moreover, we describe the analytical conditions for the onset of overstability, and use such equations to numerically draw the associated (overstable) marginal region. We finally perform an asymptotic analysis for small wave numbers.
