Existence and Uniqueness of Global Weak Solutions to a Cahn-Hilliard-Stokes-Darcy System for Two Phase Incompressible Flows in Karstic Geometry

Abstract

We study the well-posedness of a coupled Cahn-Hilliard-Stokes-Darcy system which is a diffuse-interface model for essentially immiscible two phase incompressible flows with matched density in a karstic geometry. Existence of finite energy weak solution that is global in time is established in both 2D and 3D. Weak-strong uniqueness property of the weak solutions is provided as well.
