报告摘要：

In many applications such as contaminant transport in karst aquifers, oil recovery, proton exchange membrane fuel cell technology and cardiovascular modeling, multiphase flows in free flow and in porous media interact with each other, and therefore have to be considered together. In this talk we survey recent advances on the modeling and numerical methods for two-phase flows in superposed free flow and porous media. In particular we derive a quasi-incompressible Cahn-Hilliard diffuse interface model for fluids of mismatched densities. Some open problems in this direction will be discussed. Finally we will show how to establish optimal convergence rates of HDG method for Cahn-Hilliard equations avoiding exponential dependence on the inverse of interfacial width.
