Abstract
Using a Langevin description of spinodal decomposition in fluids, we examine domain growth in the diffusive, viscous, and inertial regimes. In the framework of this model, numerical results corroborate earlier theoretical predictions based on scaling arguments and dimensional analysis. © 1996 The American Physical Society.Keywords
