Surface-Directed Spinodal Decomposition in Binary Fluid Mixtures
arXiv:cond-mat/0012022 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevE.63.041513
Abstract
We consider the phase separation of binary fluids in contact with a surface which is preferentially wetted by one of the components of the mixture. We review the results available for this problem and present new numerical results obtained using a mesoscopic-level simulation technique for the 3-dimensional problem.
