The Korteweg Theory of Cappilarity and the Phase Transition Problems

Abstract

In this paper we first summarize the earlier results on the slow motion in the Korteweg theory of cappilarity in the one-dimensional case and show some numerical results. In the multidimensional case we discuss the existence of local solutions to the system of equations for compressible fluids of Korteweg type.
