Abstract
We prove the existence of weak solutions to a viscoelastic phase separation problem in two space dimensions. The mathematical model consists of a Cahn-Hilliard-type equation for two-phase flows and the Peterlin-Navier-Stokes equations for viscoelastic fluids. We focus on the case of a polynomial-like potential and suitably bounded coefficient functions. Using the Lagrange-Galerkin finite element method complex behavior of solution for spinodal decomposition including transient polymeric network structures is demonstrated.
