Abstract
The problem of mathematical modeling of flows of multicomponent mixtures with phase transitions has been considered. The free energy of a mixture is given as a functional containing squared density gradients of the components. This permits continuous description of multiphase mixtures without discontinuities at the interfaces. Numerical solutions for the flows of two-phase mixtures in capillaries with different wall wettability conditions have been obtained.
