Nonlocal Cahn-Hilliard-Hele-Shaw systems with singular potential and degenerate mobility
Abstract
We study a Cahn-Hilliard-Hele-Shaw (or Cahn-Hilliard-Darcy) system for an incompressible mixture of two fluids. The relative concentration difference is governed by a convective nonlocal Cahn-Hilliard equation with degenerate mobility and logarithmic potential. The volume averaged fluid velocity obeys a Darcy's law depending on the so-called Korteweg force , where is the nonlocal chemical potential. In addition, the kinematic viscosity may depend on . We establish first the existence of a global weak solution which satisfies the energy identity. Then we prove the existence of a strong solution. Further regularity results on the pressure and on are also obtained. Weak-strong uniqueness is demonstrated in the two dimensional case. In the three-dimensional case, uniqueness of weak solutions holds if is constant. Otherwise, weak-strong uniqueness is shown by assuming that the pressure of the strong solution is -H\"{o}lder continuous in space for .
