Global existence for fully nonlinear reaction-diffusion systems describing multicomponent reactive flows (Q2346429)

In the present work, the authors address the boundary value problem arising in the context of chemical reactions to fluid motion. The phenomena are modeled by a system of reaction diffusion equations coupled with Navier-Stokes for incompressible fluids and heat equations. The questions of boundedness, positive invariance and existence of solutions are explored. Firstly, the authors consider the reaction diffusion equations. The existence of solutions is proved by using finite difference discretization and the Galerkin method for the time. Secondly, the full system with the coupled chemistry equations with the fluid heat equations is considered and the same techniques have been successfully applied. This paper is a continuation and an extension of the study undertaken in [the author, ibid. (9) 104, No. 1, 102--138 (2015; Zbl 1323.35076)] announced in [\textit{O. Manley} et al., Appl. Math. Lett. 8, No. 4, 7--11 (1995; Zbl 0830.35057)], but is totally self-contained.
