Convective patterns in liquid-vapor systems with diffuse interface

Recently, we have developed a phase field model to describe Marangoni convection with evaporation in a compressible fluid of van der Waals type away from criticality [Eur. Phys. J. B 44 (2005)]. Using this model, we report now 21) fully nonlinear simulations where we emphasize the influence of evaporation on convective patterns.
