Abstract:We use
$123$
three-dimensional direct numerical simulations to study fingering convection in non-rotating spherical shells. We investigate the scaling behaviour of the flow length scale, the non-dimensional heat and compositional fluxes
$Nu$
and
$Sh$
and the mean convective velocity over the fingering convection instability domain defined by
$1 \leq R_\rho < Le$
,
$R_\rho$
