We study the Muskat problem for one fluid or two fluids, with or without viscosity jump, with or without rigid boundaries, and in arbitrary space dimension $d$ of the interface. The Muskat problem is scaling invariant in the Sobolev space…

The inhomogeneous Muskat problem models the dynamics of an interface between two fluids of differing characteristics inside a non-uniform porous medium. We consider the case of a porous media with a permeability jump across a horizontal…

This paper proves the existence of unstable shocks of the Burgers-Hilbert equation conjectured in arXiv:2006.05568. More precisely, we construct smooth initial data with finite $H^9$-norm such that the solution in self-similar coordinates…

We prove the existence of mixing solutions of the incompressible porous media equation for all Muskat type $H^5$ initial data in the fully unstable regime. The proof combines convex integration, contour dynamics and a basic calculus for non…

In this paper, we establish local well-posedness results for the Muskat equation in any dimension using modulus of continuity techniques. By introducing a novel quantity \(\beta_\sigma(f_0')\) which encapsulates local monotonicity and…

We prove local well-posedness for the Muskat problem on the half-plane, which models motion of an interface between two fluids of distinct densities (e.g., oil and water) in a porous medium (e.g., an aquifer) that sits atop an impermeable…

It is still not known whether a solution to the incompressible Euler equation, endowed with a smooth initial value, can blow-up in finite time. In [{\em Comm. Math. Phys.}, 378:557--568, 2020] it has been shown that, if it exists, such a…

We investigate maximal potential energy dissipation as a selection criterion for subsolutions (coarse grained solutions) in the setting of the unstable Muskat problem. We show that both, imposing this criterion on the level of convex…

The Muskat problem models the filtration of two incompressible immiscible fluids of different characteristics in porous media. In this paper, we consider both the 2D and 3D setting of two fluids of different constant densities and different…

This paper studies the one-phase Muskat problem driven by gravity and surface tension. The regime considered here is unstable with the fluid on top of a dry region. By a novel approach using a depth-averaged formulation, we derive two…
