The onset of convection induced by transient mass diffusion in a stationary gas was succesfully predicted with transient instability theory and simulated using a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) scheme. 2D time-dependent simulations were conducted for bottom-up diffusion of a light gas in a stagna...
