Abstract Numerical solutions to convection of a fluid which is heated, and to which salt is introduced from the bottom, have been obtained. Although different in boundary conditions from the conditions in the study of Huppert and Moore, qualitatively the flow investigated here has many features the same as theirs. The differences are discussed and solutions are given for two fluids whose Prandtl numbers are 1 and 7 and ratio of molecular and thermal diffusivities is 0.1. The fields of temperature and salinity, and the stream patterns are shown in contour plots. The saline and thermal Nusselt numbers are given as functions of the thermal Rayleigh number.
