Traditional mathematical models of Hele--Shaw flow consider the injection (or withdrawal) of an air bubble into (or from) an infinite body of viscous fluid. The most commonly studied feature of such a model is how the Saffman-Taylor…
In this work, we develop a structure-preserving numerical scheme for a Cahn-Hilliard-Darcy model that describes tumor growth in a fluid-saturated porous medium. First, we derive a physically consistent model from the general framework…
We study a quite general family of nonlinear evolution equations of diffusive type with nonlocal effects. More precisely, we study porous medium equations with a fractional Laplacian pressure, and the problem is posed on a bounded space…
We study an initial-boundary value problem (IBVP) for a coupled Cahn-Hilliard-Hele-Shaw system that models tumor growth. For large initial data with finite energy, we prove global (local resp.) existence, uniqueness, higher order spatial…
We analyze the asymptotic behavior of the Boussinesq-Darcy system describing convection in layered porous media in the limit where the permeability of one layer tends to zero. We show that the limiting dynamics are governed by the…
At the continuous level, we consider two types of tumor growth models: the cell density model, which is based on the fluid mechanical construction, is more favorable for scientific interpretation and numerical simulations; and the free…
We study capillary-gravity surface waves for fluid flows governed by Darcy's law. This includes flows in vertical Hele-Shaw cells and in porous media (the one-phase Muskat problem) with finite or infinite depth. The free boundary is acted…
The convex hull peeling of a point set consists in taking the convex hull, then removing the extreme points and iterating that procedure until no point remains. The boundary of each hull is called a layer. Following on from [15], we study…
In this paper we are interested with a strongly coupled system of partial differential equations that modelizes free convection in a two-dimensional bounded domain filled with a fluid saturated porous medium. This model is inspired by the…
We explore the dynamics of a flexible fiber transported by a viscous flow in a Hele-Shaw cell of height comparable to the fiber height. We show that long fibers aligned with the flow experience a buckling instability. Competition between…
A numerical model was developed for flows involving an interface between a homogenous fluid and a porous medium. The numerical model is based on the finite volume method with body-fitted and multi-block grids. The Darcy-Forchheimer extended…
We consider the asymptotic limit of a diffuse interface model for tumor-growth when a parameter $\varepsilon$ proportional to the thickness of the diffuse interface goes to zero. An approximate solution which shows explicitly the behavior…
Motivated by the variety of applications in which nematic Hele-Shaw flow occurs, a theoretical model for Hele-Shaw flow of a nematic liquid crystal is formulated and analysed. We derive the thin-film Ericksen-Leslie equations that govern…
Motivated by the incompressible limit of a cell density model, we propose a free boundary tumor growth model where the pressure satisfies an obstacle problem on an evolving domain $\Omega(t)$, and the coincidence set $\Lambda(t)$ captures…
In this paper, a pore-scale network modeling method, based on the flow continuity residual in conjunction with a Newton-Raphson non-linear iterative solving technique, is proposed and used to obtain the pressure and flow fields in a network…
In this paper, we study the preferential stiffness and the crack-tip fields for an elastic porous solid of which material properties are dependent upon the density. Such a description is necessary to describe the failure that can be caused…
The theory of sound propagation in macroscopically isotropic and homogeneous porous media saturated with superfluid ^4He(so-called He II) has been developed neglecting all damping processes. The case when the normal fluid component is…
We derive exact expressions for so-called ``void'' bounds on the trapping constant $\gamma$ and fluid permeability $k$ for coated-spheres and coated-cylinders models of porous media. We find that in some cases the bounds are optimal, i.e.,…
The first stages of finger formation in a Hele-Shaw cell with lifting plates are investigated by means of linear stability analysis. The equation of motion for the pressure field (growth law) results to be that of the directional…
In this paper, we investigate a class of tumor growth models governed by porous medium-type equations with uncertainties arisen from the growth function, initial condition, tumor support radius or other parameters in the model. We develop a…
