Abstract
It is shown that the steady onset of salt finger convection in a double-diffusive layer is exactly analogous to the small-gap Taylor–Couette problem. The results presented by Chandrasekhar [Hydrodynamics and Hydromagnetic Stability (Clarendon, Oxford, 1961)] for the Taylor–Couette problem are extended to cover a wider range of application in the present case.
