Sixth order modification of the Cahn-Hilliard equation

We consider the sixth-order convective-viscous Cahn-Hilliard equation, different from the standard fourth-order Cahn-Hilliard equation due to the modified expression for the thermodynamic potential. In such modified thermodynamic potential the coefficient at the square gradient term is order-parameter-dependent. It also contains the square of the Laplacian. This results in a sixth-order differential equation and additional nonlinear terms in the equation. We obtained several exact static- and traveling wave solutions and studied the dependence of solutions on the parameters of the system.

Higher order potential in the modified convective-viscous Cahn-Hilliard equation

To describe highly heterogeneous systems using the Cahn-Hilliard equation, the standard form of the thermodynamic potential with a constant coefficient in the gradient term and a polynomial of the fourth degree may not be sufficient. The modification of the form of the thermodynamic potential with a polynomial of the sixth degree and the quadratic dependence of the coefficient at the gradient term is considered. Exact solutions in the form of a moving static wave and the conditions of their existence depending on the symmetry of the potential are obtained.
