The Navier–Stokes equations governing the motion of viscous compressible fluids arewhere ρ is the density, q is the velocity vector, V is the scalar potential of the external force field, I is the idemfactor and Φ is the stress-tensorMilne-Thomson ((l)) has given a general solution of (1) and (2) in the form

Computational models for fluid flow based on the Navier-Stokes equations for compressible fluids led to numerical procedures requiring the solution of simultaneous non-linear algebraic equations. These give rise to the possibility of multiple solutions, and hence there is a need to monitor convergence towards a physically meaningful flow field. The number of possible solutions that may arise is examined, and a mid-cell back substitution technique (MCBST) is developed to detect and avoid convergence towards apparently spurious solutions. The MCBST was used successfully for flow modelling in micron-sized flow passages, and was found to be particularly useful in the early stages of computation, optimizing the speed of convergence.

Constructing a general solution to the Navier-Stokes equation is a fundamental problem of current fluid mechanics and mathematics due to nonlinearity occurring when moving to Euler’s variables. A new transition procedure is proposed without appearing nonlinear terms in the equation, which makes it possible constructing a general solution to the Navier-Stokes equation as a combination of general solutions to Laplace’s and diffusion equations. Existence, uniqueness, and smoothness of the solutions to Euler's and Navier-Stokes equations are found out with investigating solutions to the Laplace and diffusion equations well-studied.

A model describing the evolution of a binary mixture of compressible, viscous, and macroscopically immiscible fluids is investigated. The existence of global-in-time weak solutions for the resulting system coupling the compressible Navier–Stokes equations governing the motion of the mixture with the Allen–Cahn equation for the order parameter is proved without any restriction on the size of initial data.
