KKSSplitCHCRes

KKS model kernel for the split Bulk Cahn-Hilliard term. This operates on the chemical potential 'c' as the non-linear variable

KKSSplitCHCRes is the split version. In this kernel, we calculate the chemical potential from . The non-linear variable for this Kernel is the concentration . To calculate and , we use the CoupledTimeDerivative and SplitCHWRes kernels, respectively, as described here.

Residual

In the residual routine we need to calculate the term . We exploit the KKS identity and arbitrarily use the a-phase instead.

(1)

Jacobian

On-Diagonal

Since there is no explicit dependence on the non-linear variable in the residual equation, the diagonal components are zero.

Off-diagonal

We are looking for the derivative of , where . We need to apply the chain rule and will again only keep terms with the derivative.
