Fully Discrete Approximation of a Three Component Cahn-hilliard Model

چکیده
In this paper, we investigate numerical schemes for solving a three component CahnHilliard model. The space discretization is performed by using a Galerkin formulation and the finite element method. For the time discretization, the main difficulty is to write a scheme ensuring, at the discrete level, the decrease of the energy. We study three different schemes and propose existence and convergence theorems. Theoretical results are illustrated by the simulations of a spreading lens between two stratified phases.

On Fully Practical Finite Element Approximations of Degenerate Cahn-hilliard Systems
We consider a model for phase separation of a multi-component alloy with non-smooth free energy and a degenerate mobility matrix. In addition to showing well-posedness and stability bounds for our approximation, we prove convergence in one space dimension. Furthermore an iterative scheme for solving the resulting nonlinear discrete system is analysed. We discuss also how our approximation has t...

How to develop efficient numerical schemes while preserving the energy stability at the discrete level is a challenging issue for the three component Cahn-Hilliard phase-field model. In this paper, we develop first and second order temporal approximation schemes based on the “Invariant Energy Quadratization” approach, where all nonlinear terms are treated semi-explicitly. Consequently, the resu...
متن کاملFinite element approximation for the dynamics of fluidic two-phase biomembranes
Biomembranes and vesicles consisting of multiple phases can attain a multitude of shapes, undergoing complex shape transitions. We study a Cahn–Hilliard model on an evolving hypersurface coupled to Navier–Stokes equations on the surface and in the surrounding medium to model these phenomena. The evolution is driven by a curvature energy, modelling the elasticity of the membrane, and by a Cahn–H...

Numerical approximations of Cahn-Hilliard phase-field model for the two-phase incompressible flows are considered in this paper. Several efficient and energy stable time discretization schemes for the coupled nonlinear Cahn-Hilliard phase-field system for both the matched density case and the variable density case are constructed, and are shown to satisfy discrete energy laws which are analogou...
