= Cahn–Hilliard equation
{wiki=Cahn–Hilliard_equation}
The Cahn–Hilliard equation is a partial differential equation that describes the phase separation and motion of interfaces in a binary mixture or alloy. It is particularly important in materials science, as it models the process by which two phases of a material (such as solid and liquid) separate from each other, leading to the formation of distinct microstructures over time. The equation was introduced by John W. Cahn and John E.
