This paper concerns a diffuse interface model for the flow of two incompressible viscoelastic fluids in a bounded domain. More specifically, the fluids are assumed to be macroscopically immiscible, but with a small transition region, where the two components are partially mixed. Considering the elasticity of both components, one ends up with a coup...
Article
We introduce a new phase field model for tumor growth where viscoelastic effects are taken into account. The model is derived from basic thermodynamical principles and consists of a convected Cahn–Hilliard equation with source terms for the tumor cells and a convected reaction–diffusion equation with boundary supply for the nutrient. Chemotactic te...

In this work, we consider a diffuse interface model for tumour growth in the presence of a nutrient which is consumed by the tumour. The system of equations consists of a Cahn–Hilliard equation with source terms for the tumour cells and a reaction-diffusion equation for the nutrient. We introduce a fully-discrete finite element approximation of the...

... The study of Cahn-Hilliard phase field models coupled with finite viscoelasticity has gained increasing interest in the recent literature, cf., e.g., [6,12,2,24]. These models describe the phase separation phenomena for multiphase materials in presence of elastic interactions between the materials constituents, and may find applications e.g. in soft matter dynamics [6], tumor growth dynamics [12], neurological and neuromuscular deseases (see the discussion in [2]). ...
... Let ζ h = I h ζ, where ζ ∈ C ∞ 0 0, T ; C ∞ (Ω) . The limit passing in the linear terms in (4.75a) can be established with a straightforward calculation from [32,Thm. 6.3], which is based on (4.11), (4.5), (4.76a) and the convergence properties from Lemma 4.15. ...
