KW - Phase separation, shallow water equations, copolymer, lamellar pattern.
AB - <p style="text-align: justify;">This paper discusses the development of an invariant finite difference scheme
to simulate the microphase separation of copolymers in one-dimensional thin liquid
films. The film phenomena are modelled using two-phase shallow water equations and
the Ohta–Kawasaki potential, which governs the phase separation of the copolymer.
Non-positive volume fractions and spurious oscillations are eventually eliminated, in
simulating the one-dimensional phase separation lamellar pattern.</p>
