Physics-Constrained Neural Surrogate for Domain Growth Prediction in Systems with Conserved Kinetics

The paper introduces a physics-constrained neural network surrogate that learns the microstructural evolution of binary mixtures governed by the Cahn‑Hilliard equation. By imposing conservation of the order parameter as a hard constraint on the network output, the model accurately predicts long‑time phase‑separation dynamics for both critical and off‑critical mixtures, maintaining mixture composition and matching the Lifshitz‑Slyozov domain‑growth law. A variant that enforces conservation only through a penalty term drifts from the initial composition and loses predictive accuracy over long rollouts, underscoring the necessity of the hard constraint for stability.
