Abstract : The Stokes–Onsager–Stefan–Maxwell (SOSM) equations model the flow of concentrated mixtures of distinct chemical species in a common thermodynamic phase. We derive a novel variational formulation of these nonlinear equations in which the species mass fluxes are treated as unknowns. This new formulation leads to a large class of high-order finite element schemes with desirable linear-algebraic properties. The schemes are provably convergent when applied to a linearization of the SOSM problem.
