Surface-Directed Spinodal Decomposition in Binary Fluid Mixtures

Statistical Mechanics 2007-05-23 v2

Abstract

We consider the phase separation of binary fluids in contact with a surface which is preferentially wetted by one of the components of the mixture. We review the results available for this problem and present new numerical results obtained using a mesoscopic-level simulation technique for the 3-dimensional problem.
