Abstract:
The paper reconstructs the early stage of the Rayleigh–B´enard convective instability considered as a nonequilibrium phase transition with the spinodal decomposition (diffusion separation) mechanism
Keywords:Rayleigh-Benard instability, nonequilibrium phase transitions, the Kahn-Hillard model, diffusion fibration, the Ginzburg-Landau potential, Gibbs free energy.
