We undertake a numerical study of the ordering kinetics in the two-dimensional (2d) active Ising model (AIM), a discrete flocking model with a non-conserved scalar order parameter. For a quench into the liquid-gas coexistence region and in the ordered liquid region, the characteristic length scale of both the density and magnetization domains follows the Lifshitz-Cahn-Allen (LCA) growth law: R(t) ∼ t1/2, consistent with the growth law of passive systems with scalar order parameter and non-conserved dynamics. The system morphology is analyzed with the two-point correlation function and its Fourier transform, the structure factor, which conforms to the well-known Porod’s law, a manifestation of the coarsening of compact domains with smooth boundaries. We also find the domain growth exponent unaffected by the noise and the self-propulsion velocity of the active particles. However, transverse diffusion is found to play the most significant role in the growth kinetics of the AIM.
