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…

We consider the evolution of two incompressible, immiscible fluids with different densities in porous media, known as the Muskat problem [21], which in two dimensions is analogous to the Hele-Shaw cell [26]. We establish, for a class of…

We prove the existence and uniqueness of global, classical solutions to the 3D Muskat problem in the stable regime whenever the initial interface has sublinear growth and slope $||\nabla_x f_0||_{L^\infty}< 5^{-1/2}$. We show under these…

We study the dynamics of the interface between two incompressible fluids in a two-dimensional porous medium whose flow is modeled by the Muskat equations. For the two-phase Muskat problem, we establish global well-posedness and decay to…

It was shown recently by Cordoba, Faraco and Gancedo that the 2D porous media equation admits weak solutions with compact support in time. The proof, based on the convex integration framework, uses ideas from the theory of laminates, in…

The Muskat problem models the dynamics of the interface between two incompressible immiscible fluids with different constant densities. In this work we prove three results. First we prove an $L^2(\R)$ maximum principle, in the form of a new…

We address a generalised three-dimensional $\alpha$-Muskat model that comes from the fluid interface problem given by two incompressible fluids with different densities in the stable regime. We establish local-in-time wellposedness when…

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…

We study 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 layer (e.g., bedrock).…
