Diffusion preserves the positivity of concentrations, therefore, multicomponent diffu- sion should be nonlinear if there exist non-diagonal terms. The vast variety of nonlinear multicom- ponent diffusion equations should be ordered and special tools are needed to provide the systematic construction of the nonlinear diffusion equations for multicomponent mixtures with significant in- teraction between components. We develop an approach to nonlinear multicomponent diffusion based on the idea of… Expand
