On the dynamics of spinodal decomposition: A numerical solution of a generalized diffusion equation
Abstract
A numerical solution of a recently proposed diffusion equation governing spinodal decomposition of a fluid is presented. The results are compared with those of Cahn's theory. For times beyond the linear regime, the two theories differ significantly in detail for the coarsening process and for the equilibrium structure of the liquid-vapor interface. © 1977.
