Mixing at the interface between a convection zone and an adjacent, stably-stratified layer plays a crucial role in shaping the structure and evolution of stars and planets. In this work, we present a suite of 2D and 3D Boussinesq…
The finite solid-liquid interface width in phase field models results in non-equilibrium effects, including solute trapping. Prior phase field modeling has shown that this extra degree of freedom, when compared to sharp-interface models,…

Using a self-similar approach a general nonsteady theory is elaborated for the case of the diffusion growth of a gas bubble in a supersaturated solution of gas in liquid. Due to the fact that the solution and the bubble in it are physically…
We consider single-file diffusion in an open system with two species $A,B$ of particles. At the boundaries we assume different reservoir densities which drive the system into a non-equilibrium steady state. As a model we use an…

It is difficult to derive the solid--fluid transition from microscopic models. We introduce particle systems whose potentials do not decay with distance and calculate their partition function exactly using a method similar to that for…
A diffuse-interface model for microstructure with an arbitrary number of components and phases was developed from basic thermodynamic and kinetic principles and formalized within a variational framework. The model includes a composition…
In drying liquid films of polymer-colloid mixtures, the stratification in which polymers are placed on top of larger colloids is studied. It is often presumed that the formation of segregated polymer-colloid layers is solely due to the…
