Breakdown of scale-invariance in the coarsening of phase-separating binary fluids

Soft Condensed Matter 2009-10-30 v1

Abstract

We present evidence, based on lattice Boltzmann simulations, to show that the coarsening of the domains in phase separating binary fluids is not a scale-invariant process. Moreover we emphasise that the pathway by which phase separation occurs depends strongly on the relation between diffusive and hydrodynamic time scales.
