Abstract:
We consider a model of a two phase flow proposed by Anderson, McFadden and Wheeler taking into account possible thermal fluctuations. The mathematical model consists of the compressible Navier--Stokes system coupled with the Cahn--Hilliard equation, where the latter is driven by a multiplicative temporal white noise accounting for thermal fluctuations. We show that existence of \emph{dissipative martingale solutions} satisfying the associated total energy balance.
