A coupled Cahn-Hilliard particle system

Tony Shardlow

Abstract:
A Cahn-Hilliard equation is coupled to a system of stochastic differential equations to model a random growth process. We show the model is well posed and analyze the model asymptotically (in the limit of the interfacial distance becoming small), to recover a free boundary problem. A numerical method together with example solutions is presented.
