“…Among the various modes, double-diffusive convection in an initially solute-strati¢ed liquid with lateral heating was studied by Chen, Briggs, and Wirtz [5]; Bergman and Ungan [6]; Lee, Hyun, and Moh [7]; Lee, Hyun, and Kang [8]; Lee and Hyun [9]; Jeevaraj and Imberger [10]; Kamakura and Ozoe [11]; and Hyun and Bergman [12], and with bottom heating by Lee and Hyun [13]; Jiang, Ostrach, and Kamotani [14], and Lee, Kang, and Hyun [15]. There are also studies on double-diffusive convection in binary solidi¢cation and crystal growth related to semiconductor materials as its representative applications [2,3].…”
