3D volume rendering of a direct numerical simulation of double diffusive fingering convection flow (salt fingers) between two parallel plates, under the no-slip boundary condition (top) and free-slip boundary condition (bottom). ​The two plots share the same ​color​ map​​ and opacity, which are both set by salinity.
