In contrast to previous works, we study a model with a singular non-local free energy, which controls the $H^{\\alpha/2}$-norm of the volume fraction. We show existence of weak solutions for large times with the aid of an implicit time discretization.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2018-06-04T09:49:16.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "76T99", "35Q30", "35Q35", "76D03", "76D05", "76D27", "76D45" ], "keywords": [ "diffuse interface model", "nonlocal free energies", "weak solutions", "two-phase flows", "incompressible fluids" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 27, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
