Phase-Field Models of Cahn-Hilliard Fluids and Extra Fluxes
نویسنده
چکیده
A class of models of Cahn-Hilliard fluids are developed by considering two incompressible non-reacting phases. The concentration of one of the phases, satisfying the classical diffusion equation, is regarded as the order parameter. The balance of energy and the entropy inequality are taken as for a single constituent but, owing to the non-simple character of the continuum, extra fluxes of energy and entropy are allowed to occur. Known models in the literature are recovered as particular cases.

A phase field model for the mixture of two incompressible fluids and its approximation by a Fourier-spectral method
A phase field model for the mixture of two incompressible fluids is presented in this paper. The model is based on an energetic variational formulation. It consists of a Navier–Stokes system (linear momentum equation) coupled with a Cahn–Hilliard equation (phase field equation) through an extra stress term and the transport term. The extra stress represents the (phase induced) capillary effect ...
متن کاملDiffuse interface model for incompressible two-phase flows with large density ratios
We investigate the applicability of an incompressible diffuse interface model for two-phase incompressible fluid flows with large viscosity and density contrasts. Diffuse-interface models have been used previously primarily for density-matched fluids, and it remains unclear to what extent such models can be used for fluids of different density, thereby potentially limiting the application of th...
متن کاملOn linear schemes for a Cahn-Hilliard diffuse interface model
The study of interfacial dynamics in the mixture of different fluids, solids, or gas is one of the fundamental issues in hydrodynamics and materials science due it plays an increasingly important role in many current scientific, engineering, and industrial applications. Traditional fluid dynamics treats these mixtures as sharp interfaces on which a set of interfacial balance conditions must be ...

We carry out rigorous error analysis for some energy stable time discretization schemes developed in [20] for a Cahn-Hilliard phase-field model and in [19] for an Allen-Cahn phase-field model.
متن کاملCoarsening kinetics from a variable-mobility Cahn-Hilliard equation: application of a semi-implicit Fourier spectral method.
An efficient semi-implicit Fourier spectral method is implemented to solve the Cahn-Hilliard equation with a variable mobility. The method is orders of magnitude more efficient than the conventional forward Euler finite-difference method, thus allowing us to simulate large systems for longer times. We studied the coarsening kinetics of interconnected two-phase mixtures using a Cahn-Hilliard equ...
