Abstract: This paper examines surface-induced ordering in confined binary alloys. The hyperbolic initial boundary value problem (IBVP) is used to describe a scenario of spatiotemporal ordering in a disordered phase for concentration of one component of binary alloy and order parameter with non-linear dynamic boundary conditions. This hyperbolic model consists of two coupled second order differential equations for order parameter and concentration. It also takes into account effects of the “memory” on the ordering of atoms and their densities in the alloy. The boundary conditions characterize surface velocities of order parameter and concentration changing which is due to surface (super)cooling on walls confining the binary alloy. It is shown that for large times there are three classes of dynamic non-linear boundary conditions which lead to three different types of attractor’s elements for the IBVP. Namely, the elements of attractor are the limit periodic simple shock waves with fronts of “discontinuities” Γ. If Γ is finite, then the attractor contains spatiotemporal functions of relaxation type. If Γ is infinite and countable then we observe the functions of pre-turbulent type. If Γ is infinite and uncountable then we obtain the functions of turbulent type.
