Simulation of phase separation of a lithium iron phosphate nanoparticle into Li-rich and Li-poor regions at zero current, starting from a homogeneous solid solution at half filling . Spinodal decomposition results in striped patterns due to the effects of elastic coherency strain on the crystal lattice as lithium ions are exchanged with the surrounding electrolyte. (D. Cogswell, 2011)

Simulations of lithium intercalation in a lithium iron phosphate nanoparticle demonstrating the suppression of phase separation with increasing current. Five movies with embedded captions (P. Bai, 2010).

Brownian dynamics simulation of a desalination shock propagating from left to right through a microchannel. The counterions (red) pass through the double layers to bypass the desalinated region (white), as co-ions (blue) are expelled ahead of the shock. (A. Mani, 2011).

ADLA. A fractal aggregate growing by advection-diffusion in a flow (yellow streamlines). Colors show the evolving concentration field. The flow, concentration, and cluster surface are all obtained via a stochastic conformal map from the unit circle.  (J Choi, 2003)
