Abstract
We consider a diffuse interface model for an incompressible binary fluid flow. The model consists of the Navier–Stokes–Voigt equations coupled with the mass-conserving Allen–Cahn equation with Flory–Huggins potential. The resulting system is subject to generalized Navier boundary conditions for the (volume averaged) fluid velocity \({{\textbf {u}}}\) and to a dynamic contact line boundary condition for the order parameter \(\phi \). These boundary conditions account for the moving contact line phenomenon. We establish the existence of a global weak solution which satisfies an energy inequality. A similar result is proven for the Allen–Cahn–Navier–Stokes system. In order to obtain some higher-order regularity (w.r.t. time) we propose the Voigt approximation: in this way we are able to prove the validity of the energy identity and of the strict separation property. Thanks to this property, we can show the uniqueness of quasi-strong solutions, even in dimension three. Regularization in finite time of weak solutions is also shown.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
