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 analyze a quasi-incompressible Cahn--Hilliard--Navier--Stokes system (qCHNS) for two-phase flows with unmatched densities. The order parameter is the volume fraction difference of the two fluids, while mass-averaged velocity is adopted.…
