Description
A new mechanism of double-component convection is discovered. It emerges in a horizontal layer of Boussinesq fluid as a stable stratification due to flux boundary conditions is added to an unstable gradient specified by fixed boundary values. Driven by this mechanism, steady finite-amplitude flows reminiscent of Rayleigh-Benard convection arise even when the background density stratification is stable
