Abstract

Double diffusive (DD) convection is a phenomenon frequently observed in the oceans and in many industrial situations (Govindarajan and Sahu, 2014). The “double-diffusive flow” means the flow in the presence of two species, which are diffusing at different rates. In this review, the instabilities that arise due to the double-diffusive effects in conditions which are supposed to be stable, according to our intuition, are discussed. The review is restricted to viscosity-stratified flows in two configurations, namely, core-annular/three-layer, and displacement flows. It is to be noted that the DD phenomena in density-stratified systems have been very well studied in the literature (see for example Turner, 1974), and this is not the subject of this review. However, a brief overview of double-diffusive phenomena in density stratified systems is given below, which will help us in understanding the underlying physics i n t he present systems
