a double-diffusive mixing process in red giants, driven by a mean molecular weight inversion from helium-3 burning, that alters surface abundances.

In astrophysics, thermohaline mixing refers to a double-diffusive mixing process in red giants, driven by a mean molecular weight inversion from helium-3 burning, that alters surface abundances. This meaning comes from Charbonnel (2007) in Astronomy & Astrophysics.[1]
