Abstract
A well-known diffuse interface model consists of the Navier-Stokes equations nonlinearly coupled with the convective Cahn-Hilliard equation. This system describes the evolution of an incompressible isothermal Newtonian mixture of binary fluids. In this article we investigate a variant of this model, which consists of the nonhomogeneous Kelvin-Voigt equations coupled with the Cahn-Hilliard equations. We prove the existence of global weak and strong solutions in a two and three dimensions. Furthermore, we prove some regularity results for the strong solutions and show their uniqueness in both two or three-dimensional bounded domains. Lastly, we also solve a problem of uniqueness of regular solutions that was left open by Giorgini and Temam (2020) [5].File | Dimensione | Formato | |
