This work presents a conforming finite-element scheme for non-isothermal phase-field systems coupled to the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations. The proposed numerical scheme preserves entropy production and total energy conservation exactly by variable transformations using entropy as main variable instead of temperature. Convergence tests in space are conducted, and representative examples are provided to demonstrate the scheme's effectiveness.

This work presents a conforming finite-element scheme for the non-isothermal Allen-Cahn-Navier-Stokes system, incorporating periodic, closed, and thermal boundary conditions. The system comprises the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations coupled with the non-isothermal Allen-Cahn equation, which includes a non-conserved phase-field equation and a temperature equation. The proposed numerical scheme preserves entropy production exactly and maintains total energy conservation up to a negative numerical dissipation. Convergence tests in both space and time are conducted, and representative examples are provided to demonstrate the scheme's effectiveness.
