Unsteady flows of an inhomogeneous incompressible viscous fluid

This paper deals with a theoretical analysis of the transfer of reactive impurities by open and filtration flows of an incompressible viscous fluid. The first section of the paper studies the model of an inhomogeneous incompressible viscous fluid, which is widely used in meteorology and oceanology, with additional allowance for the drag of the magnetic field or porous medium. Another object of research in this paper is the model of filtration of an inhomogeneous incompressible fluid in porous media proposed by V. N. Monakhov (1977) (Section 2). In both models, hydrodynamic flows determine the motion of the mixture as a whole and the temperature and concentration distributions of the components of an inhomogeneous fluid are described by a common nonlinear system of equations of diffusive heat and mass transfer.Translated from Prikladnaya Mekhanika i Tekhnicheskaya Fizika, Vol. 46, No. 2, pp. 44–51, March–April, 2005.
