Generalised dissipative solutions for a non-isothermal phase-field system: existence, weak-strong uniqueness, and long-time behaviour

Aaron Brunk, Marvin Fritz

We study a thermodynamically consistent non-isothermal phase-field system coupling two order parameters and the inverse temperature through a fully non-diagonal Onsager mobility. T…

Review of thermodynamic structures and structure-preserving discretisations of Cahn--Hilliard-type models

Aaron Brunk, Marco F. P. ten Eikelder, Marvin Fritz +2

The Cahn-Hilliard equation and extensions, notably the Cahn-Hilliard-Darcy and Cahn-Hilliard-Navier-Stokes systems, provide widely used frameworks for coupling interfacial thermody…

A posteriori existence of strong solutions to the Navier-Stokes equations in 3D

Aaron Brunk, Jan Giesselmann, Tabea Tscherpel

Global existence of strong solutions to the three-dimensional incompressible Navier-Stokes equations remains an open problem. A posteriori existence results offer a way to rigorous…
