Hydrodynamic spinodal decomposition: Growth kinetics and scaling functions.
We examine the effects of hydrodynamics on the late stage kinetics in spinodal decomposition. From computer simulations of a lattice Boltzmann scheme we observe, for critical quenches, that single phase domains grow asymptotically like t, with α ≈ .66 in two dimensions and α ≈ 1.0 in three dimensions, both in excellent agreement with theoretical predictions.
متن کاملIsotropic-nematic spinodal decomposition kinetics.
The initial stage of isotropic-nematic spinodal demixing kinetics of suspensions of very long and thin, stiff, repulsive rods is analyzed on the basis of the N-particle Smoluchowski equation. Equations of motion for the reduced probability density function of the position and orientation of a rod are expanded up to second order in spatial gradients and leading order in orientational order param...
متن کاملMorphological characterization of spinodal decomposition kinetics
The time evolution of the morphology of homogeneous phases during spinodal decomposition is described using a family of morphological measures known as Minkowski functionals. They provide the characteristic length scale L of patterns in a convenient, statistically robust, and computationally inexpensive way. They also allow one to study the scaling behavior of the content, shape, and connectivi...
متن کاملHydrodynamic effects on spinodal decomposition kinetics in planar lipid bilayer membranes.
The formation and dynamics of spatially extended compositional domains in multicomponent lipid membranes lie at the heart of many important biological and biophysical phenomena. While the thermodynamic basis for domain formation has been explored extensively in the past, domain growth in the presence of hydrodynamic interactions both within the (effectively) two-dimensional membrane and in the ...
متن کاملNONLINEAR KINETICS OF SPINODAL DECOMPOSITION, AND DISSOLUTION OF INHOMOGENElTIES FORMED BY SPINODAL DECOMPOSITION IN POLYMER BLENDS
Nonlinear kinetics of both spinodal decomposition at early stages, and the dissolution of homogeneities formed during spinodal decomposition,is studied. Variation of the scattering intensity during a complete cycle consisting of a step temperature change from T i in the one-phase. region to T2 in the two-phase region, a period of spinodal decomposition followed by a temperature drop from T2 bac...
