Abstract: We consider a continuum model describing steady flows of a miscible mixture of two fluids. The densities $\rho_i$ of the fluids and their velocity fields $u^{(i)}$ are prescribed at infinity: $\rho_i|_{\infty} = \rho_{i \infty} > 0$, $u^{(i)}|_{\infty} = 0$. Neglecting the convective terms, we have proved earlier that weak solutions to such a reduced system exist. Here we establish a uniqueness type result: in the absence of the external forces and interaction terms, there is only one such solution, namely $\rho_i \equiv\rho_{i \infty}$, $u^{(i)} \equiv0$, $i=1,2$.
Keywords: miscible mixture, compressible fluid, uniqueness, zero force
