Abstract
We undertake a detailed numerical study of the {\it Active Model B} proposed by Wittkowski et al. [Nature Comm. {\bf 5}, 4351 (2014)]. We find that the introduction of activity has a drastic effect on the ordering kinetics. First, the domain growth law shows a crossover from the usual Lifshitz-Slyozov growth law for phase separation (, where is the time) to a novel growth law () at late times. Second, the correlation function exhibits dynamical scaling for a given activity strength , but the scaling function depends on .
