The process of phase separation of binary systems is described by the Cahn-Hilliard equation. The main objective of this article is to give a classification on the dynamic phase transitions for binary systems using either the classical…

Everything you ever wanted to know about what has come to be known as ``chaotic mixing:'' This paper describes the evolution of localised ensembles of initial conditions in 2- and 3-D time-independent potentials which admit both regular and…

Liquid-liquid phase separation of liquids exhibiting interconversion between alternative states has been proposed as an underlying mechanism for fluid polyamorphism, and may be of relevance to protein function and intracellular…

We consider phase-field models with and without lateral flow for the numerical simulation of lateral phase separation and coarsening in lipid membranes. For the numerical solution of these models, we apply an unfitted finite element method…

We provide appropriate tools for the analysis of dynamics and chaos for one-dimensional systems with periodic boundary conditions. Our approach allows for the investigation of the dependence of the largest Lyapunov exponent on various…

We perform a detailed study of the chaotic component in mixed-type Hamiltonian systems on the example of a family of billiards [introduced by Robnik in J. Phys. A: Math. Gen. 16, 3971 (1983)]. The phase space is divided into a grid of cells…

An asymptotic analysis for a system with equation and dynamic boundary condition of Cahn-Hilliard type is carried out as the coefficient of the surface diffusion acting on the phase variable tends to 0, thus obtaining a forward-backward…

The Cahn--Hilliard equation is a widely used model that describes amongst others phase separation processes of binary mixtures or two-phase flows. In the recent years, different types of boundary conditions for the Cahn--Hilliard equation…

The phase behavior of binary fluid mixtures of hard hyperspheres in four and five dimensions is investigated. Spinodal instability is found by using a recent and accurate prescription for the equation of state of the mixture that requires…

We study liquid-vapor phase separation under shear via the Shan-Chen lattice Boltzmann model. Besides the rheological characteristics, we analyze the Kelvin-Helmholtz(K-H) instability resulting from the tangential velocity difference of the…

Symmetric binary fluids, quenched into a regime of immiscibility, undergo phase separation by spinodal decomposition. In the late stages, the fluids are separated by sharply defined, but curved, interfaces: the resulting Laplace pressure…

We numerically investigate the meniscus-guided coating of a binary fluid mixture containing a solute and a volatile solvent that phase separates via spinodal decomposition. Motivation is the evaporation-driven deposition of material during…

We study dynamic heterogeneities in a model glass-former whose overlap with a reference configuration is constrained to a fixed value. The system phase-separates into regions of small and large overlap, so that dynamical correlations remain…

We use the Navier-Stokes-Cahn-Hilliard model equations to simulate phase separation with flow. We study coarsening - the growth of extended domains wherein the binary mixture phase separates into its component parts. The coarsening is…

In this paper, we investigate a distributed optimal control problem for a convective viscous Cahn-Hilliard system with dynamic boundary conditions. Such systems govern phase separation processes between two phases taking place in an…

The kinetic separation of repulsive active Brownian particles into a dense and a dilute phase is analyzed using a systematic coarse-graining strategy. We derive an effective Cahn-Hilliard equation on large length and time scales, which…

In a smooth flow, the leading-order response of trajectories to infinitesimal perturbations in their initial conditions is described by the finite-time Lyapunov exponents and associated characteristic directions of stretching. We give a…

In this work we discuss the most recent results concerning the Vlasov dynamics inside the spinodal region. The chaotic behaviour which follows an initial regular evolution is characterized through the calculation of the fractal dimension of…

Using complementary numerical approaches at high resolution, we study the late-time behaviour of an inviscid, incompressible two-dimensional flow on the surface of a sphere. Starting from a random initial vorticity field comprised of a…

For a chaotic system pairs of initially close-by trajectories become eventually fully uncorrelated on the attracting set. This process of decorrelation may split into an initial exponential decrease, characterized by the maximal Lyapunov…
