Abstract
Soret-driven convection of a binary mixture in a shallow porous layer is analyzed. The analysis focuses on the behavior of the system in the presence of a concentration or heat source. In the long-wavelength limit, regimes are found in which the flow regions near the source and at the periphery are separated by narrow annular transition regions. It is also shown that the outward concentration flux from the source is dominated by convection, whereas heat can be transferred from the source both by convection and by diffusion. Multistability between these two regimes is possible.
