Abstract

Under the auspices of the Engineering Foundation, financial support of the National Science Foundation, and the cochairmanship of the authors, a conference on ‘Double-Diffusive Convection’ was held from 14–18 March 1983 in Santa Barbara. The conference attracted more than seventy scientists and engineers working in various disciplines, and 45 talks were presented. There was an ad hoc film session which ended with a demonstration of a laboratory experiment on crystallization in a double-diffusive system.
