Direct Numerical Simulation of Turbulence in the Two-Dimensional Navier-Stokes-Cahn-Hilliard Equations Nairita Pal, Anupam Gupta and Rahul Pandit Department of Physics, Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore November 15, 2012 Abstract We study a phase-field model for a mixture of two-dimensional(2D) incompressible fluids, both of which obey the Navier-Stokes Equation.We elucidate their mixing by introducing a phase-field order parameter which obeys the Cahn-Hilliard Equation. We have developed an MPI, parallel, pseudospectral code for the direct numerical simulation (DNS) of the coupled Navier-Stokes-Cahn-Hilliard Equations in 2D. We present preliminary results from this DNS for decaying turbulence in this system. We concentrate on statistical properties such as the energy and dissipation time-series, the enrgy and enstrophy spectra, dissipation-reduction-type phenomena and the motion of droplets of the minority phase in this turbulent binary-fluid mixture. 1

ABSTRACT<br />

Half doped Tb 0.5 Sr 0.5 MnO 3 single crystal is grown by four mirror Optical Float-Zone Furnace.<br />

Temperature dependence <strong>of</strong> dc magnetic susceptibility is carried out in sample with arbitrary<br />

orientation at different fields and a magnetic anomaly is observed around 42 K. Isothermal<br />

magnetization measurements carried at 5 K shows a magnetic hysteresis which is not seen at 50 K, just<br />

above the magnetic anomaly temperature. Dielectric properties are measured in the temperature range<br />

15K-300K with different frequencies ranging from 400Hz to 4MHz .Both real and imaginary parts <strong>of</strong> the<br />

dielectric constant show clear frequency dispersion which suggests that these materials could be relaxor<br />

ferroelectric. Transport properties <strong>of</strong> the sample are measured in four probe geometry between 60-<br />

300K. While cooling in this temperature range resistance <strong>of</strong> the sample steadily increases and was five<br />

orders in magnitude higher at 60 K.<br />
