| Abstract Scope |
A perturbation solution for the one-dimensional Cahn-Hilliard (CH) equation is attempted. The CH equation describes phase separation in binary mixtures with miscibility gaps. To tackle this nonlinear partial differential equation, small perturbation expansions are employed. We derive the governing equations for each order of approximation by recursive methods The leading-order equation is nonlinear, while the first-order and second-order corrections result in linear equations dependent on the lower-order solutions. The solutions are obtained iteratively, from the leading order, and incorporating boundary conditions to ensure physical consistency.
This perturbation approach provides an approximate analytical framework for understanding the dynamics of the CH equation under small perturbations, offering insights into the behavior of phase separation and pattern formation in binary mixtures. The method demonstrates the power of perturbative techniques in handling complex nonlinear systems, making it a valuable tool for theoretical and applied studies in materials science and related fields. |
