The annulus has contained a fluid with three different diffusing properties and heated from outside. The conditions for the onset of the critical Rayleigh number for thermal Rossby wave is derived and the influence of parameters such as Prandtl number, Coriolis force and concentration Rayleigh numbers on the onset of convection are discussed. In nonlinear regime, investigated the dynamics of evolution amplitudes convection that by driving a set of ordinary differential equations that describes time evolution of a multi-component convection. %UNCOMMENT THE LINES BELOW IF YOU WISH TO INCLUDE REFERENCES %\ References: \begin{thebibliography}{9} \bibitem{simitev2011double} Simitev, R D. \textit{Double-diffusive convection in a rotating cylindrical annulus with conical caps}, Physics of the Earth and Planetary Interiors, 186: 183-190, 2011. \bibitem{Griffiths} Griffiths R W. \textit{The influence of a third diffusing component upon the onset of convection}, Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 92: 659-670, 1979. \bibitem{Busse} Busse, F H. \textit{ Is low Rayleigh number convection possible in the Earth`s core}, Geophysical Research Letters, 29: 1105, 2002. \bibitem{Turner} Turner, J S. \textit{ Multicomponent convection}, Annual review of fluid mechanics, 17: 1-44, 1986 \end{thebibliography} \end{samsabstract} \end{document}
