AbstractThe Kuramto–Sivashinsky equation with anisotropy effects models the spinodal decomposition of phase separating systems in an external field, the spatiotemporal evolution of the morphology of steps on crystal surfaces and the growth of thermodynamically unstable crystal surfaces with strongly anisotropic surface tension. Written in terms of the step slope, it can be represented in a form similar to a convective Cahn–Hilliard equation. In this paper, we prove the well-posedness of the classical solutions for the Cauchy problem, associated with this equation.

This paper studies the effect of anisotropic surface tension on the morphological stability of deep cellular crystal in directional solidification by using the matched asymptotic expansion method and multiple variable expansion method. We find that the morphological stability of deep cellular crystal growth with anisotropic surface tension shows the same mechanism as that with isotropic surface tension. The deep cellular crystal growth contains two types of global instability mechanisms: the global oscillatory instability, whose neutral modes yield strong oscillatory dendritic structures, and the low-frequency instability, whose neutral modes yield weakly oscillatory cellular structures. Anisotropic surface tension has the significant effect on the two global instability mechanisms. As the anisotropic surface tension increases, the unstable domain of global oscillatory instability decreases, whereas the unstable domain of the global low-frequency instability increases.

AbstractIn this paper we establish the well-posedness of the Muskat problem with surface tension and equal viscosities in the subcritical Sobolev spaces $$W^s_p(\mathbb {R})$$ W p s ( R ) , where $${p\in (1,2]}$$ p ∈ ( 1 , 2 ] and $${s\in (1+1/p,2)}$$ s ∈ ( 1 + 1 / p , 2 ) . This is achieved by showing that the mathematical model can be formulated as a quasilinear parabolic evolution problem in $$W^{\overline{s}-2}_p(\mathbb {R})$$ W p s ¯ - 2 ( R ) , where $${\overline{s}\in (1+1/p,s)}$$ s ¯ ∈ ( 1 + 1 / p , s ) . Moreover, we prove that the solutions become instantly smooth and we provide a criterion for the global existence of solutions.
