Title: On the Mathematical Analysis of Fluid Mixtures

Abstract: Multicomponent reactive flows arise in many physical applications in sciences and engineering. The objective of this work is to develop a rigorous mathematical theory based on the principles of continuum mechanics. In this talk results on global existence and asymptotic analysis of multicomponent reactive flows will be presented.
