We study an imbibition problem for porous media. When a wetted layer is above a dry medium, gravity leads to the propagation of the water downwards into the medium. In experiments, the occurrence of fingers was observed, a phenomenon that…
When an open tube of small diameter touches a bubble of a larger diameter, the bubble spontaneously shrinks and pushes a soap film in the tube. We characterize the dynamics for different bubble sizes and number of soap films in the tube. We…
For dry foams, the transport of gas from small high-pressure bubbles to large low-pressure bubbles is dominated by diffusion across the thin soap films separating neighboring bubbles. For wetter foams, the film areas become smaller as the…

We are concerned with nonnegative solutions to the Cauchy problem for the porous medium equation with a variable density $\rho(x)$ and a power-like reaction term $u^p$ with $p>1$. The density decays {\it fast} at infinity, in the sense that…

Within the framework of variational modelling we derive a one-phase moving boundary problem describing the motion of a semipermeable membrane enclosing a viscous liquid, driven by osmotic pressure and surface tension of the membrane. For…
We consider several rigid bodies immersed in a viscous Newtonian fluid contained in a bounded domain in $R^3$. We introduce a new concept of dissipative weak solution of the problem based on a combination of the approach proposed by Judakov…
Three-dimensional geophysical fluids support both internal and boundary-trapped waves. To obtain the normal modes in such fluids we must solve a differential eigenvalue problem for the vertical structure (for simplicity, we only consider…
