The Cahn–Hilliard–Navier–Stokes system describes the evolution of two isothermal, incompressible, immiscible fluids in a bounded domain. In this work, we consider the stationary nonlocal Cahn–Hilliard–Navier–Stokes system in two and three dimensions with singular potential. We prove the existence of a weak solution for the system using pseudo-monotonicity arguments and Browder’s theorem. Further, we establish the uniqueness and regularity results for the weak solution of the stationary nonlocal Cahn–Hilliard–Navier–Stokes system for constant mobility parameter and viscosity. Finally, in two dimensions, we establish that the stationary solution is exponentially stable (for convex singular potentials) under suitable conditions on mobility parameter and viscosity.
