Magnetized Fingering Convection in Stars

Fingering convection (also known as thermohaline convection) is a process that drives the vertical transport of chemical elements in regions of stellar radiative zones where the mean molecular weight increases with radius. Recently, Harrington & Garaud used three-dimensional direct numerical sim...
