Abstract: The process of phase separation of binary systems is described by the Cahn-Hilliard equation. The main objective of this article is to give a classification on the dynamic phase transitions for binary systems using either the classical Cahn-Hilliard equation or the Cahn-Hilliard equation coupled with entropy, leading to some interesting physical predictions. The analysis is based on dynamic transition theory for nonlinear systems and new classification scheme for dynamic transitions, developed recently by the authors.

Review text

The Cahn-Hilliard (C-H) equation describes a phase separation process in which the two components of a binary fluid separate into two homogeneous different domains. Recently, the authors proposed a new theory to classify phase transitions systems and their purpose herein is to apply it to the C-H equation. One considers the main two models which are: the model defined by the classical C-H equation, and the model defined by the C-H equation coupled with entropy, to study phase transitions which produce latent heat. The dynamical transitions are analyzed in general domains, rectangular domains, and in the presence of boundary conditions, respectively. In the appendix one recalls the basic elements of the dynamic transition theory developed by the authors previously, and which is herein applied.
