Abstract

We consider weak solutions for a diffuse interface model of two non-Newtonian viscous, incompressible fluids of power-law type in the case of different densities in a bounded, sufficiently smooth domain. This leads to a coupled system of a nonhomogenouos generalized Navier-Stokes system and a Cahn-Hilliard equation. For the Cahn-Hilliard part a smooth free energy density and a constant, positive mobility is assumed. Using the LL^\infty-truncation method we prove existence of weak solutions for a power-law exponent p>2d+2d+2p>\frac{2d+2}{d+2}, d=2,3d=2,3.
