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…
