We analyze a singular system of partial differential equations corresponding to a model for the evolution of an irreversible solidification of certain pure materials by taking into account the effects of fluid flow in the molten regions. The model consists of a system of highly non-linear free-boundary parabolic equations and includes: a heat equation, a doubly nonlinear inclusion for the phase change and Navier-Stokes equations singularly perturbed by a Carman-Kozeny type term to take care of the flow in the mushy region and a Boussinesq term for the buoyancy forces due to thermal differences. Our approach to show existence of generalized solutions of this system involves time-discretization, a suitable regularization procedure and fixed point arguments.
Keywords: singular Navier Stokes equations, free-boundary problem., Irreversible phase transitions.
