We consider a variational model for heterogeneous phase separation, based on a diffuse interface energy with moving wells. Our main result identifies the asymptotic behavior of the first variation of the phase field energies as the width of…
We prove that any limit-interface corresponding to a locally uniformly bounded, locally energy-bounded sequence of stable critical points of the van der Waals--Cahn--Hilliard energy functionals with perturbation parameter tending to 0 is…
In this letter, we derive the sharp-interface limit of the Cahn-Hilliard-Biot equations using formal matched asymptotic expansions. We find that in each sub-domain, the quasi-static Biot equations are obtained with domain-specific material…
We investigate a new phase field model for representing non-oriented interfaces, approximating their area and simulating their area-minimizing flow. Our contribution is related to the approach proposed in arXiv:2105.09627 that involves ad…
Minimal models of self-propelled particles with short-range volume exclusion interactions have been shown to exhibit signatures of phase separation. Here I show that the observed interfacial stability and fluctuations in motility-induced…
We study a phase-field variational model for the solvaiton of charged molecules with an implicit solvent. The solvation free-energy functional of all phase fields consists of the surface energy, solute excluded volume and solute-solvent van…
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…
We study the asymptotic limit of diffused surface energy in the van der Waals--Cahn--Hillard theory when an advection term is added and the energy is uniformly bounded. We prove that the limit interface is an integral varifold and the…
We investigate the convergence of phase fields for the Willmore problem away from the support of a limiting measure $\mu$. For this purpose, we introduce a suitable notion of essentially uniform convergence. This mode of convergence is a…
The mathematical analysis of diffuse-interface models for multiphase flows has attracted significant attention due to their ability to capture complex interfacial dynamics, including curvature effects, within a unified, energetically…
For every $0 < s <3/4$, we study the asymptotic behavior of the $\varepsilon$-rescaled sum of the $s$-fractional Allen-Cahn energy and the squared $L^2$-norm of its first variation. We prove that the contribution of the first variation…
We study a non-local Cahn-Hilliard energy arising in the study of di-block copolymer melts, often referred to as the Ohta-Kawasaki energy in that context. In this model, two phases appear, which interact via a Coulombic energy. As in our…
This article is concerned with the problem of minimising the Willmore energy in the class of \emph{connected} surfaces with prescribed area which are confined to a small container. We propose a phase field approximation based on De Giorgi's…
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…
We present the second of two articles on the small volume fraction limit of a nonlocal Cahn-Hilliard functional introduced to model microphase separation of diblock copolymers. After having established the results for the sharp-interface…
We provide a new convergence proof of the celebrated Merriman-Bence-Osher scheme for multiphase mean curvature flow. Our proof applies to the new variant incorporating a general class of surface tensions and mobilities, including typical…
The Cahn--Hilliard equation is a classic model of phase separation in binary mixtures that exhibits spontaneous coarsening of the phases. We study the Cahn--Hilliard equation with an imposed advection term in order to model the stirring and…
This paper tackles the approximation of surface diffusion flow using a Cahn--Hilliard-type model. We introduce and analyze a new second order variational phase field model which associates the classical Cahn--Hilliard energy with two…
A new diffuse interface model has been proposed in this study for simulating binary alloy solidification under universal cooling conditions, involving both equilibrium and non-equilibrium solute partitioning. Starting from the Gibbs-Thomson…
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…
