G. Favrin et al., Droplet motion for the conservative 2D Ising lattice gas dynamics below the critical temperature, J PHYS A, 34(30), 2001, pp. 5901-5910
We consider the 2D Ising lattice gas in a square of side L with free bounda
ry conditions, temperature below the critical one and particle density slig
htly above the density of the vapour phase. Typical configurations consist
of a quarter of a Wulff droplet of the liquid phase centred at one of the c
orners of the given square. We then introduced a reversible Markovian spin
exchange dynamics, also known as Kawasaki dynamics, on the configuration sp
ace and we discuss the heuristics of the transition of a bubble of the liqu
id phase from one corner to another. We then present some numerical evidenc
e suggesting that the preferred mechanism to make the transition is via eva
poration of the original bubble and simultaneous reconstruction of a new bu
bble around a new corner.
