Over the past few decades, numerous N-phase incompressible diffuse-interface flow models with non-matching densities have been proposed. Despite aiming to describe the same physics, these models are generally distinct, and an overarching…
We derive a system of equations which can be seen as an evolving surface version of the diffuse interface "Model H" of Hohenberg and Halperin (1977). We then consider the well-posedness for the corresponding (tangential) system when one…
Coarse-grained continuous descriptions for lipid bilayers are typically based on minimizing the Helfrich energy. Such models consider the fluid properties of these structures only implicitly and have been shown to nicely reproduce…
Kinetic schemes for compressible flow of gases are constructed by exploiting the connection between Boltzmann equation and the Navier-Stokes equations. This connection allows us to construct a flux splitting for the Navier-Stokes equations…

We study a nonlocal variant of a thermodynamically consistent phase field model for binary mixtures of micropolar fluids, i.e., fluids exhibiting internal rotations. The model is described by a Navier--Stokes--Cahn--Hilliard system that…
Continuum fluid dynamic models based on the Navier-Stokes equations have previously been used to simulate granular media undergoing fluid-like shearing. These models, however, typically fail to predict the flow behaviour in confined…

We consider the Navier-Stokes equations with Navier's slip boundary conditions in a three-dimensional curved thin domain around a given closed surface. Under suitable assumptions we show that the average in the thin direction of a strong…
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…
In the hydrodynamic theory, the non-equilibrium dynamics of a many-body system is approximated, at large scales of space and time, by irreversible relaxation to local entropy maximisation. This results in a convective equation corrected by…
A diffused interface model describing the evolution of two conterminous incompressible fluids in a porous medium is discussed. The system consists of the Cahn-Hilliard equation with Flory-Huggins logarithmic potential, coupled via surface…
Water-borne diseases are still a major public health concern, as there are circumstances under which water could act as a carrier of the pathogen, extending their modeling beyond direct contact between hosts. In the present work, we…
This work presents a non-linear extension of the high-order discretisation framework based on the Variational Multiscale (VMS) method previously introduced for steady linear problems. We build on the concept of an optimal projector defined…
We derive a homogenized macroscopic model for fluid flows over ordered homogeneous porous surfaces. The unconfined free-flow is described by the Navier-Stokes equation, and the Darcy equation governs the seepage flow within the porous…

In this paper we investigate the compressible Navier-Stokes-Cahn-Hilliard equations (the so-called NSCH model) derived by Lowengrub and Truskinowsky. This model describes the flow of a binary compressible mixture; the fluids are supposed to…
Having a finite interfacial thickness, the phase-field models supply a way to model the fluid interfaces, which allows the calculations of the interface movements and deformations on the fixed grids. Such modeling is applied to the…
We develop an entropy stable two-phase incompressible Navier--Stokes/Cahn--Hilliard discontinuous Galerkin (DG) flow solver method. The model poses the Cahn-Hilliard equation as the phase field method, a skew-symmetric form of the momentum…
From extensive molecular dynamics simulations on immiscible two-phase flows, we find the relative slipping between the fluids and the solid wall everywhere to follow the generalized Navier boundary condition, in which the amount of slipping…
