ResumoThe results of molecular-dynamics studies of surface-tension-dominated spinodal decomposition of initially well-mixed binary fluids in the absence and presence of gravity are presented. The growth exponent for the domain size and the decay exponent of the potential energy of interaction between the two species with time are found to be 0.6\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.1, inconsistent with scaling arguments based on dimensional analysis.
