## Abstract

The hydrodynamic effects on the late stage kinetics in spinodal decomposition of multicomponent fluids are examined using a lattice Boltzmann scheme with stochastic fluctuations in the fluid and at the interface. In two dimensions, the three and four component immiscible fluid mixture (with a $1024^2$ lattice) behaves like an off-critical binary fluid with an estimated domain growth of $t^{0.4\\pm.03}$ rather than $t^{1/3}$ as previously predicted, showing the significant influence of hydrodynamics. In three dimensions (with a $256^3$ lattice), we estimate the growth as $t^{0.96\\pm0.05}$ for both critical and off-critical quenching, in agreement with phenomenological theory.

## Recorded benchmark results

A research result applies to its stated dataset, split, metric and evaluation configuration. Compare like-for-like settings, preserve the metric's unit and direction, and distinguish paper-reported results from independent reproduction. The best result recorded here is not a claim of exhaustive, current global coverage.
