Abstract
The separation of a binary fluid mixture into its constituent phases involves the interaction of numerous physical phenomena. Studying such a transition gives insight into the underlying mechanisms, their respective strengths and at what stage in the separation each becomes important or dominant. Large scale simulations of 3 dimensional spinodal decomposition in a binary fluid using the Dissipative Particle Dynamics method show the approach to a linear time dependence in domain coarsening. We present interface and velocity maps which clearly demonstrate the Siggia mechanism for domain growth.
