This paper deals with an initial and boundary value problem for a system coupling equation and boundary condition both of Cahn-Hilliard type; an additional convective term with a forced velocity field, which could act as a control on the…
We propose finite-volume schemes for the Cahn-Hilliard equation which unconditionally and discretely preserve the boundedness of the phase field and the dissipation of the free energy. Our numerical framework is applicable to a variety of…
