Some uniqueness and continuous dependence results in the micropolar mixture theory of porous media

The present paper studies the uniqueness and continuous data dependence of solutions of the initial-boundary value problem associated with the micropolar mixture linear theory of porous media. For a binary homogeneous mixture of an isotropic micropolar elastic solid with an incompressible micropolar viscous fluid, an uniqueness result is established. Then we deduce some estimates for describing the continuous dependence of solution with respect to the changes in the body force and body couple and in the initial-boundary given data. Thus, it is shown that the general approach of a binary homogeneous mixture of an isotropic micropolar elastic solid with an incompressible micropolar viscous fluid is well posed.
