Combined Soret and Dufour effects on thermosolutal convection induced in a horizontal layer filled with a binary fluid and subject to constant heat and mass fluxes are investigated analytically and numerically. The thresholds marking the onset of supercritical and subcritical convection are predicted analytically and explicitly versus the governing parameters. The present investigation shows that different regions exist in the N-Du plane corresponding to different parallel flow regimes. The number, the extent, and the locations of these regions depend on whether SrDu>-(1+Le2)/2Le2=f(Le) or SrDu<-(1+Le2)/2Le2. Conjugate effects of cross-phenomena on thresholds of fluid flow and heat and mass transfer characteristics are illustrated and discussed.

This study examines the influence of Soret and Dufour effects on double diffusive free convection due to wavy vertical surface immersed in a fluid saturated semi-infinite porous medium under Darcian assumptions. A wavy to flat surface transformation is applied, and the resulting coupled nonlinear partial differential equations under Boussinesq approximation are reduced to boundary layer equations. A finite difference scheme based on the Keller-Box approach has been used in conjunction with block-tridiagonal solver for obtaining the solution for boundary layer equations. Results from the current study are compared with those available in literature. The effect of various parameters such as wave amplitude (a), Lewis number (Le), buoyancy ratio (B), and Soret (Sr) and Dufour (Df) numbers are analyzed through local and average Nusselt number, and local and average Sherwood number plots.
