Scientific questions
Can chemical reactions be at the originof hydrodynamic instabilities (and notmerely be passively advected by the flow) ?
What are the properties of the new patterns that can then arise ?
Influence on transport and yield of reaction ?

Double diffusive instabilitySalt fingers: Hot salty water lies over cold fresh water of a higher density. The stratification is kept gravitationally stable. The key to the instability is the fact that heat diffuses much more rapidly than salt (hence the term double-diffusion). A downward moving finger of warm saline water cools off via quick diffusion of heat, and therefore becomes more dense. This provides the downward buoyancy force that drives the finger. Similarly, an upward-moving finger gains heat from the surrounding fingers, becomes lighter, and rises.
