1D Cahn-Hilliard equation: Ostwald Ripening and Modulated Phase Systems
نویسنده
چکیده
Using an approximate analytical solution of the Cahn-Hilliard equation describing the coalescence during a first order phase transition, we compute the characteristic time for one step of period doubling in Langer's self similar scenario for Ostwald ripening. As an application, we compute the thermodynamically stable period of a 1D modulated phase pattern.

1D Cahn-Hilliard equation for modulated phase systems
Formation of modulated phase patterns can be modelized by a modi ed Cahn-Hilliard equation which includes a non local term preventing the formation of macroscopic domains. Using stationnary solutions of the original Cahn-Hilliard equation as analytical ansatzs, we compute the thermodynamically stable period of a 1D modulated phase pattern. We nd that the period scales like the power -1/3 of th...
متن کاملComputational modeling of mineral unmixing and growth
A new finite element based simulation technique for mineral growth governed by the classical Cahn–Hilliard equation is presented. The particular format of the underlying Flory–Huggins free energy for non-ideal mixtures is characterized through a double-well potential. It allows for uphill diffusion driven by gradients in the chemical potential and thus provides the appropriate framework to simu...
متن کاملSimulation of Ostwald Ripening in Two Dimensions: Spatial and Nearest Neighbor Correlations
Recent experimental results on late stage coarsening (Ostwald ripening) in two dimensions were reinvestigated by means of numerical simulation using the Cahn-Hilliard equation (model B). We determine the spatial particle-particle and charge-charge correlation functions according to the experimental results of Krichevsky and Stavans. We nd that our numerical results correspond well with these ex...
متن کاملThe existence of global attractor for a Cahn-Hilliard/Allen-Cahn equation
In this paper, we consider a Cahn-Hillard/Allen-Cahn equation. By using the semigroup and the classical existence theorem of global attractors, we give the existence of the global attractor in H^k(0
متن کاملOstwald Ripening in Thin Film Equations
Fourth order thin film equations can have late stage dynamics that are analogous to the classical Cahn–Hilliard equation. We undertake a systematic asymptotic analysis of a class of equations that describe partial wetting with a stable precursor film introduced by intermolecular interactions. The limit of small precursor film thickness is considered, leading to explicit expressions for the late...
