We establish a relative energy framework for the Euler-Korteweg system with non-convex energy. This allows us to prove weak-strong uniqueness and to show convergence to a Cahn-Hilliard system in the large friction limit. We also use…

We apply the technique of convex integration to obtain non-uniqueness and existence results for power-law fluids, in dimension $d\ge 2$. For the power index $q$ below the compactness threshold, i.e. $q \in (1, \frac{2d}{d+2})$, we show…
