Abstract Buoyancy driven convection arising in a fluid mixture confined in a cylindrical container designed for a measurement of the Soret (thermal diffusion) coefficient of a binary mixture, has been investigated in the case of a cylinder submitted to an axial temperature gradient, in low but steady gravity conditions. These 3D convective motions and their effect on the Soret separation have been numerically simulated, using a 3D finite differences technique, for a wide range of the characteristic parameters. The results will allow to interpret any Soret experiment performed in micro-gravity conditions.
