We introduce a new sharp interface model for the flow of two immiscible, viscous, incompressible fluids. In contrast to classical models for two-phase flows we prescribe an evolution law for the interfaces that takes diffusional effects…

The flow of a viscous fluid is perturbed by its internal friction which generates heat and leads to a small temperature change. This does not occur for an ideal fluid. We would like to resolve this picture as a function of the dynamical…
