Phase separation dynamics under stirring

Phase separation dynamics in the presence of externally imposed stirring is studied. The stirring is assumed independent of the concentration and it is generated with a well-defined energy spectrum. The domain growth process is either favored or frozen depending on the intensity and correlation leng...

Description
Summary:Phase separation dynamics in the presence of externally imposed stirring is studied. The stirring is assumed independent of the concentration and it is generated with a well-defined energy spectrum. The domain growth process is either favored or frozen depending on the intensity and correlation length of this advective flow. This behavior is explained by analytical arguments.
