Hydrodynamic coarsening of binary fluids
By suitable interpretation of results from the linear analysis of interface dynamics, it is found that the hydrodynamic growth of the size L of domains that follow spinodal decomposition in fluid mixtures scales with time as L approximately t(alpha), with alpha = 4/7 in the inertial regime. The previously proposed exponent alpha = 2/3 is shown to indicate only the scaling of the oscillatory frequency omega(-2/3) approximately L of the largest structures of the system. The viscous dissipation in the system occurs within a layer of thickness L(d) that also follows a power law of the form L(d) approximately L3/4 in the inertial regime. In the viscous regime the growth is linear in time L approximately t and the dissipative region remains constant L(d) approximately L0.

Domain growth in ternary fluids: A level set approach
We analyze phase separation in ternary systems in the asymptotic hydrodynamic regime when the volume fractions and concentrations are constant. The multiphase Navier-Stokes equations are solved using a level set method. A new projection method was developed to treat multiple junctions for systems with more than two phases. It is found that surface tension ratios can alter the growth mechanism of a minority phase in the presence of two majority phases. When the minority phase wets the interface of the majority phases the domain growth rate of all three phases is initially similar to that of a symmetric binary fluid but slows down at later times.
