The Cahn-Hilliard equation is solved with thermodynamic and kinetic input, using the Thermo-Calc and DICTRA software packages rather than simpler models e.g. regular solution. A concentration dependent expression for the gradient energy coefficient is introduced and its effect on simulated decomposition is discussed. Simulations were carried out in 2D and 3D using the FiPy software package modified for non-linear problems. (C) 2017 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
