Abstract An experimental and theoretical study of three-component mixing at the “diffusion – convection” boundary at elevated pressures is carried out. It is shown that the pressure dependence of the dimensionless parameter α, defined as the ratio of the experimental values of the component concentrations to those calculated by the Stefan-Maxwell equations, has characteristic regions due to the interaction of structural formations moving towards each other, in which a transition from one critical motion to another occurs. Within the framework of a linear analysis of the stability of a ternary gas mixture for a vertical circular cylinder channel, it is shown that scale perturbations determining the transition from one type of flow to another correspond to a certain value of the perturbation mode n and the critical Rayleigh numbers.
