We investigate two-phase flow in porous media and derive a two-scale model, which incorporates pore-scale phase distribution and surface tension into the effective behavior at the larger Darcy scale. The free-boundary problem at the pore…

This paper considers the three dimensional Muskat problem in the stable regime. We obtain a conservation law which provides an $L^2$ maximum principle for the fluid interface. We also show global in time existence for strong and weak…

We study the Muskat problem, which describes the motion of two immiscible, incompressible fluids in a homogeneous porous medium occupying the full space ${\mathbb{R}^{N+1}}$, $N \geq 2$, driven by gravity. The interface between the fluids…

In this work we study the evolution of the interface between two different fluids in a porous media with two different permeabilities. We prove local existence in Sobolev spaces, when the free boundary is given by the discontinuity among…

We consider the one-phase Muskat problem modeling the dynamics of the free boundary of a single fluid in porous media. We prove local well-posedness for fluid interfaces that are general curves and can have singularities. In particular, the…

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 present paper is devoted to the joint motion of two immiscible incompressible liquids in porous media. The liquids have different densities and initially separated by a surface of strong discontinuity (free boundary). We discuss the…

Flood front is the jump interface where fluids distribute discontinuously, whose interface condition is the theoretical basis of a mathematical model of the multiphase flow in porous medium. The conventional interface condition at the jump…
