We use the Cahn-Hilliard approach to model the slow dissolution dynamics of binary mixtures. An important peculiarity of the Cahn-Hilliard-Navier-Stokes equations is the necessity to use the full continuity equation even for a binary mixture of two incompressible liquids due to dependence of mixture density on concentration. The quasicompressibility of the governing equations brings a short tim...

We study the asymptotic behaviour of radially symmetric solutions of the nonlocal equation In a bounded spherically symmetric domain ft C R"f where A,(<) m 1 fftW(<p) «fcr, with a Neumann boundary condition. The analysis is based on "energy methods combined with some a-priori estimates, the latter being used to approximate the sohtion by the first two terms of an asymptotic expansionWe only nee...

Stabilized semi-implicit spectral defect correction (SSISDC) methods are constructed for the time discretization of Allen-Cahn and Cahn-Hilliard equations. These methods are unconditionally stable, lead to simple linear system to solve at each iteration and can achieve high-order time accuracy with a few iterations in each time step. Ample numerical results are presented to demonstrate the effe...

We present an unconditionally stable second-order hybrid numerical method for solving the Allen–Cahn equation representing amodel for antiphase domain coarsening in a binary mixture. The proposed method is based on operator splitting techniques. The Allen–Cahn equation was divided into a linear and a nonlinear equation. First, the linear equation was discretized using a Crank–Nicolson scheme an...

We consider the convective Cahn–Hilliard equation with periodic boundary conditions as an infinite dimensional dynamical system and establish the existence of a compact attractor and a finite dimensional inertial manifold that contains it. Moreover, Gevrey regularity of solutions on the attractor is established and used to prove that four nodes are determining for each solution on the attractor...

We study the Cahn-Hilliard equation in a bounded domain without any symmetry assumptions. We assume that the mean curvature of the boundary has a nongenerate critical point. Then we show that there exists a spike-like stationary solution whose global maximum lies on the boundary. Our method is based on Lyapunov-Schmidt reduction and the Brouwer fixed-point theorem. Résumé. Nous étudions l’équat...

We present a nonlinear model predictive framework for closedloop control of two-phase flows governed by the Cahn-Hilliard NavierStokes system. We adapt the concept for instantaneous control from [6, 12, 16] to construct distributed closed-loop control strategies for twophase flows. It is well known that distributed instantaneous control is able to stabilize the Burger’s equation [16] and also t...
