We show that, along the critical isobar, the complete scaling results in a unique leading scaling qualitatively distinct to that arising from the simple and the revised scalings. This is verified by a complete-field finite-time scaling…
Application of "complete scaling" [Kim et al., Phys. Rev. E 67, 061506 (2003); Anisimov and Wang, Phys. Rev. Lett. 97, 25703 (2006)] to the interfacial behavior of fluids shows that Tolman's length, a curvature correction to the surface…

The long wavelength diffusion coefficient of a critical fluid confined between two parallel plates separated by a distance L is strongly affected by the finite size. Finite size scaling leads us to expect that the vanishing of the diffusion…
