A phase field model for tumour growth is introduced that is based on a Brinkman law for convective velocity fields. The model couples a convective Cahn-Hilliard equation for the evolution of the tumour to a reaction-diffusion-advection equation for a nutrient and to a Brinkman-Stokes type law for the fluid velocity. The model is derived from basic thermodynamical principles, sharp interface limits are derived by matched asymptotics and an existence theory is presented for the case of a mobility…

Cahn-Hilliard-Brinkman models for tumour growth: Modelling, analysis and optimal control

Phase field models recently gained a lot of interest in the context of tumour growth models. In this work we study several diffuse interface models for tumour growth in a bounded domain with…

It is shown that the sharp interface limit of the models are the standard incompressible inductionless magnetohydrodynamic equations coupled with several different interface conditions for different choice of the mobilities.
