Abstract: In this paper, we consider a class of models for multiphase fluids, in the framework of mixture theory. The considered system, in its more general form, contains both the gradient of a hydrostatic pressure, generated by an incompressibility constraint, and the gradient of a compressible pressure depending on the volume fractions of some of the different phases. To approach these systems, we define an approximation based on the emph{Leray} projection, which involves the use of the emph{Lax} symbolic symmetrizer for hyperbolic systems and paradifferential techniques. In two space dimensions, we prove its well-posedness and convergence to the unique classical solution to the original system. In the last part, we shortly discuss the difficulties in the three dimensional case.
