Abstract: | We study a diffuse interface model for the flow of two viscous incompressible Newtonian fluids in a bounded domain. The fluids
are assumed to be macroscopically immiscible, but a partial mixing in a small interfacial region is assumed in the model.
Moreover, diffusion of both components is taken into account. In contrast to previous works, we study the general case that
the fluids have different densities. This leads to an inhomogeneous Navier-Stokes system coupled to a Cahn-Hilliard system,
where the density of the mixture depends on the concentration, the velocity field is no longer divergence free, and the pressure
enters the equation for the chemical potential. We prove existence of weak solutions for the non-stationary system in two
and three space dimensions. |
