A compressible mixture model with phase transition

We introduce a new thermodynamically consistent diffuse interface model of Allen-Cahn/Navier-Stokes type for multi-component flows with phase transitions and chemical reactions. For the introduced diffuse interface model, we investigate physically admissible sharp interface limits by matched asymptotic techniques. We consider two scaling regimes, i.e. a non-dissipative and a dissipative regime, where we recover in the sharp interface limit a generalized Allen-Cahn/Euler system for mixtures with chemical reactions in the bulk phases equipped with admissible interfacial conditions. The interfacial conditions satisfy, for instance, a Young-Laplace and a Stefan type law. (C) 2014 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
