    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.

    Asymptotic analysis for Korteweg models
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2010) Dreyer, Wolfgang; Giesselmann, Jan; Kraus, Christiane; Rohde, Christiane
    This paper deals with a sharp interface limit of the isothermal Navier-Stokes-Korteweg system. The sharp interface limit is performed by matched asymptotic expansions of the fields in powers of the interface width. These expansions are considered in the interfacial region (inner expansions) and in the bulk (outer expansion) and are matched order by order. Particularly we consider the first orders of the corresponding inner equations obtained by a change of coordinates in an interfacial layer. For a specific scaling we establish solvability criteria for these inner equations and recover the results within the general setting of jump conditions for sharp interface models.

    Overcoming the shortcomings of the Nernst-Planck model
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2012) Dreyer, Wolfgang; Guhlke, Clemens; Müller, Rüdiger
    This is a study on electrolytes that takes a thermodynamically consistent coupling between mechanics and diffusion into account. It removes some inherent deficiencies of the popular Nernst-Planck model. A boundary problem for equilibrium processes is used to illustrate the new features of our model.

    A quasi-incompressible diffuse interface model with phase transition
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2012) Aki, Gonca; Dreyer, Wolfgang; Giesselmann, Jan; Kraus, Christine
    This work introduces a new thermodynamically consistent diffuse model for two-component flows of incompressible fluids. For the introduced diffuse interface model, we investigate physically admissible sharp interface limits by matched asymptotic techniques. To this end, we consider two scaling regimes where in one case we recover the Euler equations and in the other case the Navier-Stokes equations in the bulk phases equipped with admissible interfacial conditions. For the Navier-Stokes regime, we further assume the densities of the fluids are close to each other in the sense of a small parameter which is related to the interfacial thickness of the diffuse model.
