A mean-field method for driven diffusive systems based on maximum entropy principle
… the free energy is nonconvex and we use a Maxwell construction to find the relevant information for the system. To test the method we carry out numerical calculations at the pair level of approximation for the 2-dimensional driven diffusive Ising model on a square lattice with attractive …

Cell model of a fluid with hard-core repulsive long-range attractive potential
… under certain conditions without recourse to the Maxwell construction. A numerical evaluation and analysis of the series solution, by means of high-speed computer, for small one-, two-, and three-dimensional systems shows realistic thermodynamic behavior and confirms other estimates of the …

The effect of shear flow on the Isotropic-Nematic transition in liquid crystals
… To resolve the question of the analog of the Maxwell construction to distinguish locally stable states, we construct stable inhomogeneous interfacial states. From an analysis of these states we determine a coexistence line and find exponents characterizing the shape of the coexistence curve …

Simulation of two-phase dynamics using lattice boltzmann method (LBM)
In this dissertation, a new lattice Boltzmann model, called the artificial interface lattice Boltzmann model (AILB model), is proposed for the simulation of two-phase dynamics. The model is based on the principle of free energy minimization and invokes the Gibbs-Duhem equation in the formulation of …
