Hydrodynamic spinodal decomposition: Growth kinetics and scaling functions

We examine the effects of hydrodynamics on the late-stage kinetics in spinodal decomposition. From computer simulations of a lattice Boltzmann scheme we observe, for critical quenches, that single-phase domains grow asymptotically like t^α, with {α}{}0.66 in two dimensions and {α}{}1.0 in three dimensions, both in excellent agreement with theoretical predictions.
