Abstract: “Salt fingering”, the phenomenon of the double-diffusive convection has been studied experimentally. We prepared a system with vertical density variation, which contains salt and sugar solutions, separated one from the other. The “salt fingers” appear at the interface between these layers of salt and sugar solutions. The “salt fingers” have been observed by means of shadowgraph technique.
