A priori estimates for fluid Interface problems

Analysis of PDEs 2007-05-23 v2 Differential Geometry

Abstract

We consider the regularity of an interface between two incompressible and inviscid fluids flows in the presence of surface tension. We obtain local in time estimates on the interface in H32k+1H^{\frac32k +1} and the velocity fields in H32kH^{\frac32k}. These estimates are obtained using geometric considerations which show that the Kelvin-Helmholtz instabilities are a consequence of a curvature calculation.
