We rigorously prove the convergence of appropriately scaled solutions of the 2D Hele-Shaw moving boundary problem with surface tension in the limit of thin threads to the solution of the formally corresponding Thin Film equation. The proof…
The theory of quadrature domains for harmonic functions and the Hele-Shaw problem of the fluid dynamics are related subjects of the complex variables and mathematical physics. We present results generalizing the above subjects for elliptic…
We consider the Hele-Shaw flow that arises from injection of two-dimensional fluid into a point of a curved surface. The resulting fluid domains have and are more or less determined implicitly by a mean value property for harmonic…
Hele-Shaw flow at vanishing surface tension is ill-defined. In finite time, the flow develops cusp-like singularities. We show that the ill-defined problem admits a weak {\it dispersive} solution when singularities give rise to a graph of…
A nonlocal interface equation is derived for two-phase fluid flow, with arbitrary wettability and viscosity contrast c=(mu_1-mu_2)/(mu_1+mu_2), in a model porous medium defined as a Hele-Shaw cell with random gap b_0+delta b. Fluctuations…

In this work, we introduce a novel computational framework for solving the two-dimensional Hele-Shaw free boundary problem with surface tension. The moving boundary is represented by point clouds, eliminating the need for a global…
We present a computational framework to address the flow of two immiscible viscous liquids which co-flow into a shallow rectangular container at one side, and flow out into a holding container at the opposite side. Assumptions based on the…
Topology changes in multi-phase fluid flows are difficult to model within a traditional sharp interface theory. Diffuse interface models turn out to be an attractive alternative to model two-phase flows. Based on a…
We propose a method of construction of exact solutions of free boundary problems corresponding to Hele-Shaw flows in presence of an external field. Such a field may arise, in particular, due to electrokinetic phenomena. Both a general…
Over 125 years ago, Henry Selby Hele-Shaw realized that the depth-averaged flow in thin gap geometries can be closely approximated by two-dimensional (2D) potential flow, in a surprising marriage between the theories of viscous-dominated…
We investigate a generalized Hele-Shaw equation with a source and drift terms where the density is constrained by an upper-bound density constraint that varies in space and time. By using a generalized porous medium equation approximation,…
Consider the motion of a thin layer of electrically conducting fluid, between two closely spaced parallel plates, in a classical Hele-Shaw geometry. Furthermore, let the system be immersed in a uniform external magnetic field (normal to the…
In this paper, we study the sharp interface limit for solutions of the Cahn-Hilliard equation with disparate mobilities. This means that the mobility function degenerates in one of the two energetically favorable configurations, suppressing…
In this paper, we demonstrate that potential theory provides a powerful framework for analyzing quasistationary fluid flows in bounded geometries, where the bulk dynamics are governed by elliptic equations with constant coefficients. This…
We consider the Hele-Shaw problem in a randomly perforated domain with zero Neumann boundary conditions. A homogenization limit is obtained as the characteristic scale of the domain goes to zero. Specifically, we prove that the solutions as…

We consider the gradient flow of a one-homogeneous functional, whose dual involves the derivative of a constrained scalar function. We show in this case that the gradient flow is related to a weak, generalized formulation of the Hele-Shaw…
