Molecular Dynamics Simulation of Spinodal Decomposition in Three-Dimensional Binary Fluids

Using large-scale molecular dynamics simulations of a two-component Lennard-Jones model in three dimensions, we show that the late-time dynamics of spinodal decomposition in concentrated binary fluids reaches a viscous scaling regime with a growth exponent n0ex0ex=0ex0ex1, in agreement with experiments and a theoretical analysis for viscous growth.
