Pure advection of a conservative scalar is relevant to several applications including two-phase flow. Successful numerical schemes must capture the sharp interface between the phases while maintaining a smooth (wrinkle-free) interfacial…
Ferrofluids are a class of materials that exhibit both fluid and magnetic properties. We consider a two-phase diffuse interface model for the dynamics of ferrofluids on a bounded domain. One phase is assumed to be magnetic, the other phase…
