🧂 Double-Diffusive Salt Fingers: Heat, Salt and Density in a Closed Box (2D slice)
Vertical slice of a closed tank where warm salty water lies over cool fresh water. Heat diffuses faster than salt, so narrow fingers grow. Change buoyancy, diffusivities, viscosity and the starting ripple. Same solver file as the 3D page, with four in-page numerical checks.
