Surface tension, higher order phase field equations, dimensional analysis and Clairaut’s equation
A higher order phase field free energy leads to higher order differential equations. The surface tension involves L<sup>2</sup> norms of higher order derivatives. An analysis of dimensionless variables shows that the surface tension satisfies a Clairaut’s equation in terms of the coeffci...
