 Solution

The thermodynamic order parameter is the conserved scalar composition difference $\varphi$ of the binary fluid mixture. The momentum density $\rho \mathbf{v}$ is an additional conserved hydrodynamic mode; it is not a symmetry-breaking order parameter, but it must be retained because momentum relaxes only through spatial transport.

Composition conservation gives a continuity equation,The current $\mathbf{J}=-M\nabla \mu$ is the leading isotropic, dissipative constitutive law: it drives material down gradients of the chemical potential. For the Landau-Ginzburg theorythe functional derivative isThese statements give the advective Cahn--Hilliard equation.

Constant mass density and incompressible flow require $\nabla \cdot \mathbf{v}=0$. Momentum conservation gives the Navier-Stokes equation: material acceleration equals the sum of the Newtonian viscous force $\eta {\nabla }^2\mathbf{v}$, the pressure force $-\nabla P$, and the Korteweg force $-\varphi \nabla \mu$. The pressure is the Lagrange multiplier enforcing incompressibility. Together these equations are Model H dynamics; isothermality removes the need for a separate energy equation.
