Trajectory attractors for binary fluid mixtures in 3D

Two different models for the evolution of incompressible binary fluid mixtures in a three-dimensional bounded domain are considered. They consist of the 3D incompressible Navier-Stokes equations, subject to time-dependent external forces and coupled with either a convective Allen-Cahn or Cahn-Hilliard equation. Such systems can be viewed as generalizations of the Navier-Stokes equations to two-phase fluids. Using the trajectory approach, the authors prove the existence of the trajectory attractor for both systems.
