We consider a diffuse interface model for incompressible isothermal mixtures of two immiscible fluids with matched constant densities.

Using a similar technique, we show that there is a global attractor for the convective non-local Cahn–Hilliard equation with degenerate mobility and singular potential in dimension three.

Abstract
We consider a diffuse interface model for incompressible isothermal mixtures of two immiscible fluids with matched constant densities. This model consists of the Navier–Stokes system coupled with a convective non-local Cahn–Hilliard equation with non-constant mobility. We first prove the existence of a global weak solution in the case of non-degenerate mobilities and regular potentials of polynomial growth. Then we extend the result to degenerate mobilities and singular (e.g. logarithmic) potentials. In the latter case we also establish the existence of a global attractor in dimension two. Using a similar technique, we show that there is a global attractor for the convective non-local Cahn–Hilliard equation with degenerate mobility and singular potential in dimension three.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
