Starting with the Vlasov-Boltzmann equation for a binary fluid mixture, we derive an equation for the velocity field $\bm{u}$ when the system is segregated into two phases (at low temperatures) with a sharp interface between them. $\bm{u}$…
Spontaneous liquid-liquid phase separation is commonly understood in terms of phenomenological mean-field theories. These theories correctly predict the structural features of the fluid at sufficiently long time scales and wavelengths.…
