Abstract: We study a diffuse interface model that describes the dynamics of incompressible two-phase flows with chemotaxis effects. This model also takes into account some significant mechanisms such as active transport and nonlocal interactions of Oono's type. The system under investigation couples the Navier-Stokes equations for the fluid velocity, a convective Cahn-Hilliard equation with physically relevant singular potential for the phase-field variable and an advection-diffusion-reaction equation for the nutrient density. For the initial boundary value problem in a smooth bounded domain OmegasubsetmathbbR2, we first prove the existence and uniqueness of global strong solutions that are strictly separated from the pure states pm1 over time. Then we prove the continuous dependence with respect to the initial data and source term for the strong solution in energy norms. Finally, we show the propagation of regularity for weak solutions.


The authors study the evolution problem for a thermodynamically consistent model derived in [\textit{K. F. Lam} and \textit{H. Wu}, Eur. J. Appl. Math. 29, No. 4, 595--644 (2018; Zbl 1397.92100)] a two-phase incompressible fluid mixture, based on the Cahn-Hilliard equation coupled with the Navier-Stokes equations, that includes chemotactic effects. Existence of strong solutions is proved in the two-dimensional setting, and some properties (such as separation from pure states) of them are shown.
