We study a non-local version of the Cahn-Hilliard dynamics for phase separation in a two-component incompressible and immiscible mixture with linear mobilities. In difference to the celebrated local model with nonlinear mobility, it is only assumed that the divergences of the two fluxes --- but not necessarily the fluxes themselves --- annihilate each other. Our main result is a rigorous proof of existence of weak solutions. The starting point is the formal representation of the dynamics as a constrained gradient flow in the Wasserstein metric. We then show that time-discrete approximations by means of the incremental minimizing movement scheme converge to a weak solution in the limit. Further, we compare the non-local model to the classical Cahn-Hilliard model in numerical experiments. Our results illustrate the significant speed-up in the decay of the free energy due to the higher degree of freedom for the velocity fields.
In this paper, we consider the advective Cahn-Hilliard equation in 2D with shear flow: $$ begin{cases} u_t+v_1(y) partial_x u+gamma Delta^2 u=gamma Delta(u^3-u) quad & quad textrm{on} quad mathbb T^2; u textrm{periodic} quad & quad textrm{on} qu
We consider a diffuse interface model which describes the motion of an incompressible isothermal mixture of two immiscible fluids. This model consists of the Navier-Stokes equations coupled with a convective nonlocal Cahn-Hilliard equation. Several r
A well-known diffuse interface model for incompressible isothermal mixtures of two immiscible fluids consists of the Navier-Stokes system coupled with a convective Cahn-Hilliard equation. In some recent contributions the standard Cahn-Hilliard equati
We prove the existence of weak solutions to a system of two diffusion equations that are coupled by a pointwise volume constraint. The time evolution is given by gradient dynamics for a free energy functional. Our primary example is a model for the d
The Cahn--Hilliard equation is a classic model of phase separation in binary mixtures that exhibits spontaneous coarsening of the phases. We study the Cahn--Hilliard equation with an imposed advection term in order to model the stirring and eventual
