Viscous compressible homogeneous multi-fluids with multiple velocities: barotropic existence theory (Q2403683)

The purpose of this article is to correct and extend several results regarding the solvability theory for the equations of motion of multi-fluids with multiple velocities. This system consists of the continuity equations, formulas for the matrix tensors and other formulas, and by symmetry forms a complete thermodynamic system. The corrections are made by replacing certain velocities by average velocities, and assuming that the pressures are the same and depending only on the total density. First, approximate solutions are found for the steady system. Then, several new objects are introduced. Finally, unsteady problems and one-dimensional problems are discussed.
