    Abstract This paper focuses on the mechanisms of convective instability in a stable salty gradient layer (i.e. an interfacial salty layer). This layer is assumed to be initially confined between two homogeneous liquid layers: a lower layer composed of salty water of 5wt% concentration and an upper layer composed of distilled water. The mechanisms underlying the interfacial salty layer's instability are depicted experimentally using a PIV technique and via measurements of concentration and temperature. It is found that in addition to the effect of double-diffusion across the interfacial salty layer, different forms of Kelvin-Helmholtz instability occur… More >
