contents We study the anisotropic, incompressible Cahn-Hilliard-Navier-Stokes system with variable density in a bounded smooth domain $Ω\subset \mathbb{R}^d$. This work extends previous results on the isotropic case by incorporating anisotropic surface energy, represented by $\mathfrak{F}= \int_Ω \fracε{2}\, Γ^2(\nabla ϕ) $. The thermodynamic consistency of this system, as well as its modeling background and physical motivation, has been established in \cite{anderson2000phase,taylor-cahn98, zaidni2024}. Using a Galerkin approximation scheme, we prove the existence of global weak solutions in both two- and three-dimensions $(d=2,3)$. A key ingredient in extending the local existence of approximate solutions to a global one is the application of Bihari's inequality combined with a fixed-point argument.
