    A diffuse interface model for quasi-incrompressible flows : sharp interface limits and numerics
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2012) Aki, Gonca; Daube, Johannes; Dreyer, Wolfgang; Giesselmann, Jan; Kränkel, Mirko; Kraus, Christiane
    In this contribution, we investigate a diffuse interface model for quasi–incompressible flows. We determine corresponding sharp interface limits of two different scalings. The sharp interface limit is deduced by matched asymptotic expansions of the fields in powers of the interface. In particular, we study solutions of the derived system of inner equations and discuss the results within the general setting of jump conditions for sharp interface models. Furthermore, we treat, as a subproblem, the convective Cahn–Hilliard equation numerically by a Local Discontinuous Galerkin scheme.

    Pressure reconstruction for weak solutions of the two-phase incompressible Navier--Stokes equations with surface tension
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2019) Abels, Helmut; Daube, Johannes; Kraus, Christiane
    For the two-phase incompressible Navier--Stokes equations with surface tension, we derive an appropriate weak formulation incorporating a variational formulation using divergence-free test functions. We prove a consistency result to justify our definition and, under reasonable regularity assumptions, we reconstruct the pressure function from the weak formulation.

    The sharp-interface limit for the Navier--Stokes--Korteweg equations
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2019) Abels, Helmut; Daube, Johannes; Kraus, Christiane; Kröner, Dietmar
    We investigate the sharp-interface limit for the Navier--Stokes--Korteweg model, which is an extension of the compressible Navier--Stokes equations. By means of compactness arguments, we show that solutions of the Navier--Stokes--Korteweg equations converge to solutions of a physically meaningful free-boundary problem. Assuming that an associated energy functional converges in a suitable sense, we obtain the sharp-interface limit at the level of weak solutions.
