摘要
We present evidence, based on lattice Boltzmann simulations, to show that the coarsening of the domains in phase-separating binary fluids is not a scale-invariant process. Moreover we emphasize that the pathway by which phase separation occurs depends strongly on the relation between diffusive and hydrodynamic time scales.
