Abstract
Extension of a description of mass diffusion in binary fluids based on Fick's law to multicomponent fluids requires introduction of diffusion matrices. A problem is that Fick diffusion matrices commonly adopted for multicomponent fluids depend on the velocity frame of reference. In this paper we show how one can define Fick diffusion matrices for multicomponent fluids that are frame invariant.
