We propose and analyze a new mixed finite element method for the problem of steady double-diffusive convection in a fluid-saturated porous medium. More precisely, the model is described by the coupling of the Brinkman—Forchheimer and double diffusion equations, in which the originally sought variables are the velocity and pressure of the fluid, and the temperature and concentration of a solute. Our approach is based on the introduction of the further unknowns given by the fluid pseudostress tensor, and the pseudoheat and pseudodiffusive vectors, thus yielding a fully-mixed formulation
