Abstract
Various properties of traveling wave (TW) and stationary overturning convection (SOC) are determined for ethanol—water parameters by finite—differences numerical solutions of the basic hydrodynamic field equations subject to realistic horizontal boundary conditions. Bifurcation— and phase diagrams for TW and SOC solutions are presented. Unstable SOC patterns that decay into a stable TW or the conductive state can be stabilized by phase pinning lateral boundaries. The structural changes at the transition TW ↔ SOC are shown. The mean flow, the lateral currents of heat and concentration, and the particle motion associated with a TW are elucidated.

For our estimates we use T0= 300 K, ΔT = 7 K, α =3–10–4 K-1, β=0.15. Thus for C 0= 8 weight % ethanol in water C0 = 5.7 in reduced units. Furthermore we take a TW at Ψ = — 0.25 near the saddle with extrema <uδT> ≃ 0.06, <uδC> ≃ — 0.07 at z = 1/4 and U ≃ — 0.001 at z = 1/2.
