We consider a class of nonlocal Cahn-Hilliard equations in a bounded domain $\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^{d}$ $(d\in\{2,3\})$, subject to a nonlocal kinetic rate dependent dynamic boundary condition. This diffuse interface model describes phase…
This paper deals with time stepping schemes for the Cahn--Hilliard equation with three different types of dynamic boundary conditions. The proposed schemes of first and second order are mass-conservative and energy-dissipative and -- as…
We present a new ternary free energy lattice Boltzmann model. The distinguishing feature of our model is that we are able to analytically derive and independently vary all fluid-fluid surface tensions and the solid surface contact angles.…
Using molecular dynamics simulations we study the slow dynamics of a colloidal fluid annealed within a matrix of obstacles quenched from an equilibrated colloidal fluid. We choose all particles to be of the same size and to interact as hard…

We show how a fixed point based boundary-layer analysis technique can be used to obtain the steady-state particle density profiles of driven exclusion processes on two-lane systems with open boundaries. We have considered two distinct…
Direct numerical simulation of microscale fluid--structure interactions in multicomponent and multiphase flows requires methods that can represent moving boundaries together with fields constrained to evolving interfaces. Diffuse-domain…
We study an alloy system where short-ranged, thermally-driven diffusion competes with externally imposed, finite-ranged, athermal atomic exchanges, as is the case in alloys under irradiation. Using a Cahn-Hilliard-type approach, we show…
Dynamic wetting poses a well-known challenge in classical sharp-interface formulation as the no-slip wall condition leads to a contact line singularity that is typically regularized with a Navier boundary condition, often requiring…

Near-critical binary mixtures containing ions and confined between two charged and selective surfaces are studied within a Landau-Ginzburg theory extended to include electrostatic interactions. Charge density profiles and the effective…
Extensive studies have investigated the transition mechanism of boundary layers initiated by a single primary instability. In a real-world scenario, however, multiple primary instabilities of different physical nature would coexist and…

We discuss the two-dimensional motion of a Brownian particle that is confined to a harmonic trap and driven by a shear flow. The surrounding medium induces memory effects modelled by a linear, typically nonreciprocal coupling of the…
We study a general Navier-Stokes-Cahn-Hilliard-Boussinesq system that describes the motion of a mixture of two incompressible Newtonian fluids with thermo-induced Marangoni effects. The Cahn-Hilliard dynamics of the binary mixture is…
