We study the one-dimensional Cahn-Hilliard equation with an additional driving term representing, say, the effect of gravity. We find that the driving field $E$ has an asymmetric effect on the solution for a single stationary domain wall…
We consider the Cahn-Hilliard (CH) equation with a Burgers-type convective term that is used as a model of coarsening dynamics in laterally driven phase-separating systems. In the absence of driving, it is known that solutions to the…
We consider coarsening dynamics associated with a Burgers--Cahn--Hilliard system modeling a two-phase flow in one space dimension. Our emphasis is on the effect that coupling between the phase and fluid dynamics has on coarsening rates, and…
We study the solutions of a generalized Allen-Cahn equation deduced from a Landau energy functional, endowed with a non-constant higher order stiffness. We assume the stiffness to be a positive function of the field and we discuss the…
It is known that similar physical systems can reveal two quite different ways of behavior, either coarsening, which creates a uniform state or a large-scale structure, or formation of ordered or disordered patterns, which are never…
