Double diffusive convection is a physical phenomenon that occurs in fluid systems when two different solutes or properties (such as temperature and concentration) are present, leading to buoyancy-driven flow due to the combined effects of thermal and solutal (concentration-related) gradients. This type of convection is particularly relevant in scenarios where light and heavy solutes or varying temperatures influence the fluid's density differently.
