Abstract
We prove existence of weak solutions for a diffuse interface model for the flow of two viscous incompressible Newtonian fluids in a bounded domain by allowing for a degenerate mobility. The model has been developed by Abels, Garcke and Grün for fluids with different densities and leads to a solenoidal velocity field. It is given by a non-homogeneous Navier–Stokes system with a modified convective term coupled to a Cahn–Hilliard system, such that an energy estimate is fulfilled which follows from the fact that the model is thermodynamically consistent.
