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 کاملSpinodal Decomposition and the Deconfining Phase Transition
Lattice gauge theory investigations of the deconfining phase transitions have mainly been limited to equilibrium studies (an exception is the work by Miller and Ogilvie [1]). The equilibrium transition with two massless quarks is likely second order and it becomes a crossover with two light quarks (and the heavier strange quark) [2]. In nature the finite temperature phase transition is governed...
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 کاملHydrodynamic mechanisms of spinodal decomposition in confined colloid-polymer mixtures: a multiparticle collision dynamics study.
A multiscale model for a colloid-polymer mixture is developed. The colloids are described as point particles interacting with each other and with the polymers with strongly repulsive potentials, while polymers interact with each other with a softer potential. The fluid in the suspension is taken into account by the multiparticle collision dynamics method (MPC). Considering a slit geometry where...
متن کاملSpinodal decomposition : An alternate mechanism of phase conversion
The scenario of homogeneous nucleation is investigated for a first order quarkhadron phase transition in a rapidly expanding background of quark gluon plasma. It is found that significant supercooling is possible before hadronization begins. This study also suggests that spinodal decomposition competes with nucleation and may provide an alternative mechanism for phase conversion.
