Fluxes through a uniform double-diffusive staircase at low Prandtl number

Double-diffusive convection in the diffusive regime is often observed to be in a long-lived layered state, well-known in the Arctic ocean and in volcanic lakes, and thought to exist in the interiors of giant planets. The density profile resembles a `staircase', with stacks of convective layers of uniform density separa...
