Lattice Boltzmann simulations of lamellar and droplet phases
arXiv:cond-mat/9801292 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevE.58.480
Abstract
Lattice Boltzmann simulations are used to investigate spinodal decomposition in a two-dimensional binary fluid with equilibrium lamellar and droplet phases. We emphasise the importance of hydrodynamic flow to the phase separation kinetics. For mixtures slightly asymmetric in composition the fluid phase separates into bulk and lamellar phases with the lamellae forming distinctive spiral structures to minimise their elastic energy.
