From the authors' summary: From both the theoretical and numerical viewpoints, we study a system of differential inclusions describing the evolution of the temperature and the specific humidity distributions in a system of moist air. We allow the so-called saturation concentration parameter to depend on the temperature, and thus we consider quite general and interesting phase-change effects. The definition of weak solutions and the mathematical structure of the problem are discussed. Various properties of weak solutions, such as existence, uniqueness, maximal principles and regularity are studied. Numerical results are given for the 2D case, where a classical upwind finite volume scheme is used.
