Abstract
Using large-scale molecular dynamics simulations of a two-component Le nnard-Jones model in three dimensions, we show that the late-time dyna mics of spinodal decomposition in concentrated binary fluids reaches a viscous scaling regime with a growth exponent n = 1, in agreement wit h experiments and a theoretical analysis for viscous growth.
