Sharp-interface nematic-isotropic phase transitions with flow
We present a sharp-interface theory for phase transformations between the isotropic and uniaxial nematic phases of a flowing liquid crystal. These equations include a supplemental interface condition which expresses the balance of configurational momentum. As an application, we study the behavior a spherical isotropic drop surrounded by a radially-oriented nematic phase. For this problem, the b...
متن کاملSharp Interface Limit of a Homogenized Phase Field Model for Phase Transitions in Porous Media
A homogenized phase field model for phase transitions in porous media is considered. By making use of the method of formal asymptotic expansion with respect to the interface thickness, a sharp interface limit problem is derived. This limit problem turns out to be similar to the classical Stefan problem with surface tension and kinetic undercooling.
متن کاملA Microscopic Derivation of Macroscopic Sharp Interface Problems Involving Phase Transitions
Macroscopic free boundary problems involving phase transitions (e.g., the classical Stefan problem or its modifications) are derived in a unified way from a Hamiltonian based on a general set of microscopic interactions. A Hamiltonian of the form H=52x, x,J(x-x')q~(x)q)(x') leads to differential equations as a result of Fourier transforms. Expanding the Fourier transform of J in powers of q (th...
متن کاملOn Attractors for a Sharp Interface Model of Exothermic Phase Transitions
We study a free interface problem related to combustion of condensed matter and some non-equilibrium exothermal phase transitions. In spite of a variety of non-trivial dynamical scenarios exhibited by the model the solutions are uniformly bounded and the interface velocity is a smooth function. The main result of the paper establishes existence of a compact connected attractor for the classical...
متن کاملFinite element approximation of a sharp interface approach for gradient flow dynamics of two-phase biomembranes
A finite element method for the evolution of a two-phase membrane in a sharp interface formulation is introduced. The evolution equations are given as an L2– gradient flow of an energy involving an elastic bending energy and a line energy. In the two phases Helfrich-type evolution equations are prescribed, and on the interface, an evolving curve on an evolving surface, highly nonlinear boundary...
