Abstract: We study a diffuse interface model describing the motion of two viscous fluids driven by the surface tension in a Hele-Shaw cell. The full system consists of the Cahn-Hilliard equation coupled with the Darcy's law. We address the physically relevant case in which the two fluids have different viscosities (unmatched viscosities case) and the free energy density is the logarithmic Helmholtz potential. In dimension two we prove the uniqueness of weak solutions under a regularity criterion, and the existence and uniqueness of global strong solutions. In dimension three we show the existence and uniqueness of strong solutions, which are local in time for large data or global in time for appropriate small data. These results extend the analysis obtained in the matched viscosities case by Giorgini, Grasselli and Wu (Ann. Inst. H. Poincar'{e} Anal. Non Lin'{e}aire 35 (2018), 318-360). Furthermore, we prove the uniqueness of weak solutions in dimension two by taking the well-known polynomial approximation of the logarithmic potential.

Review text

The purpose of this article is to show the uniqueness of strong or weak solutions for the Hele-Shaw-Cahn-Hilliard (HSCH) system or Cahn-Hilliard equation coupled with the Darcy's law in dimension two and three. First, some preliminary results are collected and the main assumptions are recalled. Then, uniqueness results of weak solutions in dimension two are proved first with logarithmic potential, then with regular potentials. Global strong solutions with unmatched viscosities and logarithmic potential in dimension two are carried out. Finally, the existence and uniqueness of strong solutions in dimension three is proved. The proofs use integration by parts, Leray projection operator, Young's inequality, Gronwall lemma, Brezis-Gallouet-Wainger inequality, Sobolev embedding, Hölder's inequality, generalized Gronwall lemma. Some extra proofs are made in an appendix.
