A moving boundary problem for periodic Stokesian Hele–Shaw flows
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper is concerned with the motion of an incompressible, viscous fluid in a Hele–Shaw cell. The free surface is moving under the influence of gravity and the fluid is modelled using a modified Darcy law for Stokesian fluids. We combine results from the theory of quasilinear elliptic equations, analytic semigroups and Fourier multipliers to prove existence of a unique classical solution to the corresponding moving boundary problem.

Two-dimensional Stokes and Hele-Shaw flows with free surfaces
We discuss the application of complex variable methods to Hele-Shaw flows and twodimensional Stokes flows, both with free boundaries. We outline the theory for the former, in the case where surface tension effects at the moving boundary are ignored. We review the application of complex variable methods to Stokes flows both with and without surface tension, and we explore the parallels between t...

متن کاملClassical solutions and stability results for Stokesian Hele-Shaw flows
In this paper we study a mathematical model for the motion of a Stokesian fluid in a Hele-Shaw cell surrounded by a gas at uniform pressure. The model is based on a non-Newtonian version of Darcy’s law for the bulk fluid, as suggested in [9, 12]. Besides a general existence and uniqueness result for classical solutions, it is also shown that classical solutions exist globally and tend to circle...
متن کاملStability of self-similar extinction solutions for a 3D Hele-Shaw suction problem
We present a stability result for a class of non-trivial self-similarly vanishing solutions to a 3D Hele-Shaw moving boundary problem with surface tension and single-point suction. These solutions are domains that bifurcate from the trivial spherical solution. The moving domains have a geometric centre located at the suction point and they are axially symmetric. We show stability with respect t...
متن کاملClassical solutions for Hele-Shaw models with surface tension
It is shown that surface tension effects on the free boundary are regularizing for Hele-Shaw models. This implies, in particular, existence and uniqueness of classical solutions for a large class of initial data. As a consequence, we give a rigorous proof of the fact that homogeneous Hele-Shaw flows with positive surface tension are volume preserving and area shrinking.
