We investigate the coupled dynamics of a conserved and a non-conserved order parameter field using the generic example of a Cahn-Hilliard equation that is coupled to a Swift-Hohenberg equation. Both equations correspond to gradient dynamics and, here, we employ a coupling that preserves the variational structure. The coupled system is effectively of 8th order and allows for individual and coupled short-scale and long-scale instabilities. We analytically examine the linear and weakly nonlinear behaviour and study the fully nonlinear bifurcation behaviour employing numerical path continuation. The nonlinear results are compared to the results gained with amplitude equations of first and higher orders obtained in the weakly nonlinear limit.
