Existence of solutions to a two-dimensional model for nonisothermal two-phase flows of incompressible fluids

We consider a thermodynamically consistent diffuse interface model describing two-phase flows of incompressible fluids in a non-isothermal setting. This model was recently introduced in a previous paper of ours, where we proved existence of weak solutions in three space dimensions. Here, we aim at studying the mathematical properties of the model in the two-dimensional case. In particular, we can show existence of global in time strong solutions. Moreover, we can admit slightly more general conditions on some material coefficients of the system.
