Non-Physical Phase Separation

The binary fluid and liquid-gas models suffer from the lack of Galilean invariance discussed earlier. They have the further drawback that the surface tension and phase separation are produced in an arbitrary manner. The rules appear to produce the desired effect but they have no underlying physical basis.
