We numerically investigate the phase separation dynamics of the non-reciprocal Allen-Cahn model in which two non-conserved order parameters are coupled. The system exhibits several dynamical patterns such as the randomly oscillating phase…

We computationally study the spontaneous phase separation of ternary fluid mixtures using the lattice Boltzmann method, both when all the surface tensions are equal and when they have different values. Previous theoretical works typically…

We develop a mesoscopic lattice model to study the morphology formation in interacting ternary mixtures with evaporation of one component. As concrete application of our model, we wish to capture morphologies as they are typically arising…

Non-reciprocal interactions are a generic feature of non-equilibrium systems. We define a non-reciprocal generalization of the kinetic Ising model in one spatial dimension. We solve the model exactly using two different approaches for…

We examine a non-reciprocally coupled dynamical model of a mixture of two diffusing species. We demonstrate that nonreciprocity, which is encoded in the model via antagonistic cross diffusivities, provides a generic mechanism for the…
