We study the concentration field in a prescribed 2D Cahn-Hilliard Navier-Stokes (CHNS) system. We formulate a description for the target pattern formation and pattern merging processes, and compare this description with simulation results.…
A Cahn-Hilliard-type theory for hydrodynamic fluctuations is proposed that gives a quantitative description of the slowly evolving spatial correlations and structures in density and flow fields in the early stages of evolution of freely…
This article examines the dynamic phase transitions and pattern formations attributed to binary systems modeled by the Cahn-Hilliard equation. In particular, we consider a two-dimensional lattice structure and determine how different…
An electric-field-induced phase transition and pattern formation in a binary dielectric fluid layer are studied using a coarse-grained free energy functional. The electrostatic part of the free energy is a nonlinear functional of the…
In this study, we have derived a thermodynamically consistent phase-field model for two-phase flows with thermocapillary effects. This model accommodates variations in physical properties such as density, viscosity, heat capacity, and…
The advective Cahn-Hilliard equation describes the competing processes of stirring and separation in a two-phase fluid. Intuition suggests that bubbles will form on a certain scale, and previous studies of Cahn-Hilliard dynamics seem to…
Pattern formation has been extensively studied in the context of evolving (time-dependent) domains in recent years, with domain growth implicated in ameliorating problems of pattern robustness and selection, in addition to more realistic…
We study a Cahn--Hilliard two-phase model describing the flow of two viscoelastoplastic fluids, which arises in geodynamics. A phase-field variable indicates the proportional distribution of the two fluids in the mixture. The motion of the…
The main objective of this article is to study the three-dimensional Rayleigh-Benard convection in a rectangular domain from a pattern formation perspective. It is well known that as the Rayleigh number crosses a critical threshold, the…
We establish metastability of the one-dimensional Cahn-Hilliard equation for initial data that is order-one in energy and order-one in $\dot{H}^{-1}$ away from a point on the so-called slow manifold with $N$ well-separated layers.…
Bacteria can form a great variety of spatially heterogeneous cell density patterns, ranging from simple concentric rings to dynamical spiral waves appearing in growing colonies. These pattern formation phenomena are important as they…
In this paper, we use the cell dynamics method to study the dynamics of phase transformation when three phases exist. The system we study is a two-dimensional system. The system is able to achieve three phases coexistence, which for…
The Cahn-Hilliard equation with an externally-prescribed chaotic shear flow is studied in two and three dimensions. The main goal is to compare and contrast the phase separation in two and three dimensions, using high-resolution numerical…
We find analytical solutions to the Cahn-Hilliard equation for the dynamics of an interface in a system with a conserved order parameter (Model B). We show that, although steady-state solutions of Model B are unphysical in the far-field,…
We present initial results from the first 3-dimensional numerical magnetohydrodynamical (MHD) simulations of magnetic field evolution in merging clusters of galaxies. Within the framework of idealized initial conditions similar to our…
The morphology of crystalline thin films evolving on flat rigid substrates by condensation of extra film atoms or by evaporation of their own atoms in the surrounding vapor is studied in the framework of the theory of Stress Driven…
During phase transitions certain properties of a material change, such as composition field and lattice-symmetry distortions. These changes are typically coupled, and affect the microstructures that form in materials. Here, we propose a 2D…
In a preceding paper, we have presented a general lattice formulation of the dynamic self-consistent field (DSCF) theory for inhomogeneous, unentangled homopolymer fluids. Here we apply the DSCF theory to study both transient and…
The liquid cone-jet mode can be produced upon stimulation by a co-flowing gas sheath. Most applications deal with the jet breakup, leading to either of two droplet generation regimes: jetting and dripping. The cone-jet flow pattern is…
In this work, we propose a new model for flow through deformable porous media, where the solid material has two phases with distinct material properties. The two phases of the porous material follow a Cahn-Hilliard type evolution, with…
