Phase transformations such as freezing typically start with heterogeneous nucleation. Heterogeneous nucleation near a wetting transition, of a crystalline phase is studied. The wetting transition occurs at or near a vapour-liquid transition…
We propose a minimal model for miscibility phase transitions (MPTs) in a class of asymmetric two-component heterogeneous fluid membranes at equilibrium that generically display both first and second order MPTs, controlled by the interplay…
The behavior of energy minimizers at the boundary of the domain is of great importance in the Van de Waals-Cahn-Hilliard theory for fluid-fluid phase transitions, since it describes the effect of the container walls on the configuration of…
The effects of (in)homogeneity and size on the phase diagram of Lennard-Jones fluids are investigated. It is shown that standard multifragmentation scenarios (finite equilibrated systems with conserved center of mass position and momentum)…
A theoretical model of vapor-liquid phase transition in a system of charged hard cores of different diameters is suggested (with the parameters of the transition obtained in a number of studies using the Monte Carlo method). The model is…
A model of phase transitions with coupling between the order parameter and its gradient is proposed. It is shown, that this nonlinear model is suitable for the description of phase transitions accompanied by the formation of spatially…
We study the homogenization of a steady diffusion equation in a highly heterogeneous medium made of two subregions separated by a periodic barrier through which the flow is proportional to the jump of the temperature by a layer conductance…
We study the limit behavior of Cahn--Hilliard-type functionals in which the derivative is replaced by higher-order fractional derivatives and modulated by an oscillating factor. Depending on the ratio between the oscillation scale and the…
A temporal study of energy transfer across length scales is performed in 3D numerical simulations of homogeneous shear flow and isotropic turbulence. The average time taken by perturbations in the energy flux to travel between scales is…
A major challenge in flow through porous media is to better understand the link between microstructure and macroscale flow and transport. For idealised microstructures, the mathematical framework of homogenisation theory can be used for…
This work discusses the homogenization analysis for diffusion processes on scale-free metric graphs, using weak variational formulations. The oscillations of the diffusion coefficient along the edges of a metric graph induce internal…
We present the results of a numerical investigation of three-dimensional decaying turbulence with statistically homogeneous and anisotropic initial conditions. We show that at large times, in the inertial range of scales: (i) isotropic…
We perform a convergence analysis of a discrete-in-time minimization scheme approximating a finite dimensional singularly perturbed gradient flow. We allow for different scalings between the viscosity parameter $\varepsilon$ and the time…
We study the question of periodic homogenization of a variably scaled reaction-diffusion problem with non-linear drift posed for a domain crossed by a flat composite thin layer. The structure of the non-linearity in the drift was obtained…
Motivated by the fact that in nature almost all phenomena behave randomly in some scales and deterministically in some other scales, we build up a framework suitable to tackle both deterministic and stochastic homogenization problems…
We study the effect of anisotropy on phase transitions in graphene. We work with an low energy effective field theory which is strongly coupled, and solve a coupled set of Schwinger-Dyson equations. We show that the effect of anisotropy is…
The phase transitions and critical properties of two types of inhomogeneous systems are reviewed. In one case, the local critical behaviour results from the particular shape of the system. Here scale-invariant forms like wedges or cones are…
Considering one-dimensional nonminimally-coupled lattice gauge theories, a class of nonlocal one-dimensional systems is presented, which exhibits a phase transition. It is shown that the transition has a latent heat, and, therefore, is a…
We consider non-equilibrium phenomena in a very simple model that displays a zero-temperature first-order phase transition. The quantum Ising model with a four-spin exchange is adopted as a general representative of first-order quantum…
Numerical simulations of a thin layer of turbulent flow in stably stratified conditions within the Boussinesq approximation have been performed. The statistics of energy transfer among scales have been investigated for different values of…
