Degraded mixing solutions for the Muskat problem

Analysis of PDEs 2018-05-31 v1

Abstract

We prove the existence of infinitely many mixing solutions for the Muskat problem in the fully unstable regime displaying a linearly degraded macroscopic behaviour inside the mixing zone. In fact, we estimate the volume proportion of each fluid in every rectangle of the mixing zone. The proof is a refined version of the convex integration scheme presented in [DS10, Sze12] applied to the subsolution in [CCF16]. More generally, we obtain a quantitative h-principle for a class of evolution equations which shows that, in terms of weak*-continuous quantities, a generic solution in a suitable metric space essentially behaves like the subsolution. This applies of course to linear quantities, and in the case of IPM to the power balance P\mathbf{P} (14) which is quadratic. As further applications of such quantitative h-principle we discuss the case of vortex sheet for the incompressible Euler equations.
