This paper proves existence of a global weak solution of the inhomogeneous (i.e., non-constant density) incompressible Navier-Stokes system with mass diffusion. The system is well-known as the Kazhikhov-Smagulov model. The major novelty of the paper is to deal with the Kazhikhov-Smagulov model possessing the nonconstant viscosity without any simplification of higher order nonlinearity. Any global weak solution is shown to have a long time behavior that is consistent with mixing phenomena of miscible fluids. The results also contain a new compactness method of the Aubin-Lions-Simon type.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
