Analysis of Characteristics of Two-Layer Convective Flows with Diffusive Type Evaporation Based on Exact Solutions

The theoretical approaches for mathematical modelling of the convective flows with mass transfer through the liquid–gas interface are discussed. The special attention is payed to modelling with use of the classical Boussinesq approximation of the Navier–Stokes equations. The diffusion equation and the effects of thermodiffusion and thermal diffusivity (the Soret and Dufour effects) are taken into account additionally to describe vapor and heat...
