Краткое описание

We develop a phase-field model for binary incompressible fluid with thermocapillary effects, which allows for different properties (densities, viscosities and heat conductivities) of each component while maintaining thermodynamic consistency. A sharp-interface limit analysis is carried out to show that the interfacial conditions of the classical sharp-interface models can be recovered from our phase-field model. Numerical examples computed through a continuous finite element method show that the results of the model are consistent with some existing analytical and numerical results.
