Special Session 23: Recent progress in the mathematical theory of compressible fluid flows
Contents
We will present a recent diffuse interface model for a two-phase flow of viscous incompressible fluids taking the effect of a surfactant into account, which diffuses through the bulk phases and along the interface. The model was developed by Garcke, Lam and Stinner. We will discuss the existence of weak solutions for this model. If time permits, we wll comment on the sharp interface limits.
