32. In general, one may also have a pressure term -∇p on the right-hand side of Eq. (7). In the vorticity-stream function formulation the pressure term in the modified Navier-Stokes (NS) equation [Eq. (7)] disappears because one considers a curl of the modified NS equation. This has been discussed in Refs. 24, 25. We would also like to note that sound modes play only a minor role in spinodal decomposition as in the case of critical dynamics. This has been discussed by J E. Farrell and O T. Valls, Phys. Rev. B42, 2353 (1990).
