Critical slowing-down

At the critical point, the size of fluctuations of density or concentration, diverges and the time of their relaxation becomes infinite. The slow relaxation near the critical point is known as critical slowing down and the theory that describes this phenomenon is known as dynamic scaling .The basic idea of dynamic scaling is simple a fluctuation the size of the correlation length has a lifetime proportional to the volume of the fluctuation  [Pg.207]

In eq 7.102, the difinsion coefficient, which controls the life time of the fluctuations, is assumed to follow eq 7.101 for a Brownian particle, where the radius R is replaced by the correlation length The shear viscosity also diverges at the critical point as but very weakly, with z 0.07.  [Pg.207]

Equation (7.102) ignores a spatial dependence of the diffusion coefficient. Specifically, near the liquid-liquid critical point of a binary solution, the diffusion coefficient is given by [Pg.207]

Mesoscopic dynamics can be also affected by competition between different mesoscales which can generate a coupling between different dynamic modes. [Pg.207]

An interesting example of such coupling is observed in polymer solutions between the relaxation of the critical concentration fluctuations and viscoelastic relaxation. This coupling leads to a crossover between the dilfusive critical dynamics in the critical regime and relaxation dynamics of an infinite polymer chain in the theta-pomt. regime. [Pg.208]

It follows that 50 does approach zero, but only as t 1/2 rather than exponentially. This is the critical slowing down of the macroscopic approach to equilibrium. [Pg.345]

Near the critical point a fluid is known to behave differently, and many anomalies appear in the static and dynamical properties. The important anomalies in the dynamical properties are the critical slowing down of the thermal diffusivity (Dt) in a one-component fluid and the interdiffusion of two species in a binary mixture and also the divergence of the viscosity in a binary mixture. [Pg.81]

Since TDFRS works at much lower critical point can be approached much closer on the e-axis, thereby still observing scaling behavior and critical slowing down of D. The crossover corresponding to q l , 1 is marked with an arrow at e 2 x 10 4. [Pg.155]

Qualitative peculiarities for the dependence of the relaxation time on the system parameter are represented in Fig. 12. The most peculiar is the "critical slowing down in the neighbourhood of bifurcation parameters. Here the relaxation rate is considerably lower than that of the slowest reaction and, in principle, it can be infinitesimal. A numerical experiment provides similar results (Fig. 13). [Pg.290]
