We show well-posedness of a diffuse interface model for a two-phase flow of two viscous incompressible fluids with different densities locally in time. The model leads to an inhomogeneous Navier-Stokes/Cahn-Hilliard system with a solenoidal…
We consider the nonlocal Cahn-Hilliard equation with singular (logarithmic) potential and constant mobility in three-dimensional bounded domains and we establish the validity of the instantaneous strict separation property. This means that…
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…
We present a finite-volume based numerical scheme for a nonlocal Cahn-Hilliard equation which combines ideas from recent numerical schemes for gradient flow equations and nonlocal Cahn-Hilliard equations. The equation of interest is a…
While various phase-field models have recently appeared for two-phase fluids with different densities, only some are known to be thermodynamically consistent, and practical stable schemes for their numerical simulation are lacking. In this…
We discuss two doubly degenerate Cahn-Hilliard (DDCH) models for isotropic surface diffusion. Degeneracy is introduced in both the mobility function and a restriction function associated to the chemical potential. Our computational results…
We consider a diffuse interface model which describes the motion of an incompressible isothermal mixture of two immiscible fluids. This model consists of the Navier-Stokes equations coupled with a convective nonlocal Cahn-Hilliard equation.…
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…
We study problems in which a local model is coupled with a nonlocal one. We propose two energies: both of them are based on the same classical weighted $H^1$-semi norm to model the local part, while two different weighted $H^s$-semi norms,…
We deal with a nonlocal interaction equation describing the evolution of a particle density under the effect of a general symmetric pairwise interaction potential, not necessarily in convolution form. We describe the case of a convex (or…
Degenerate Cahn-Hilliard phase-field models provide a robust approximation of surface-diffusion-driven interface motion without explicit front tracking. In computations, however, the geometric volume enclosed by the interface -- the region…
