We present a numerical analysis of the dynamics ensuing sudden quenches in a two-component, linear and non-linear coupled Bose gas. Starting from different initial configurations we study quenches in both, linear and non-linear, coupling parameters which end near, either below or above, the equilibrium quantum critical point. At the latter the equilibrium ground state changes from miscible to immiscible. Concentrating on the relative degrees of freedom which are represented in terms of spins, we discuss the time evolution of spin spectra and spin correlation lengths after the quench as a function of the distance to the critical point. We present numerical evidence that the non-equilibrium dynamical system is subject to self-similarity in time and space as a function of the distance to the equilibrium critical point, characterised by scaling exponents similar to the equilibrium phase transition. The presented results confirm recent experimental findings for a quasi-1D Rubidium-87 gas.
