For the water waves equations, the existence of splat singularities has been shown in [3], i.e., the interface self-intersects along an arc in finite time. The aim of this paper is to show the absence of splat singularities for the…

In this paper we give a new proof of the homogenization result for an immiscible incompressible two-phase flow in double porosity media obtained earlier in the pioneer work by A. Bourgeat, S. Luckhaus, A. Mikeli\'c (1996) and in the paper…

Based on non-equilibrium thermodynamics we derive a set of general equations relating the partial volumetric flow rates to each other and to the total volumetric flow rate in immiscible two-phase flow in porous media. These equations…

We exhibit a family of graphs that develop turning singularities (i.e. their Lipschitz seminorm blows up and they cease to be a graph, passing from the stable to the unstable regime) for the inhomogeneous, two-phase Muskat problem where the…

In porous media, there are three known regimes of fluid flows, namely, pre-Darcy, Darcy and post-Darcy. Because of their different natures, these are usually treated separately in literature. To study complex flows when all three regimes…

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 propose a new approach to the mathematical modeling of the Buckley- Leverett system, which describes two-phase flows in porous media. Considering the initial-boundary value problem for a deduced model, we prove the solvability of the…

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…

The Muskat problem involves filtration of two incompressible fluids throughout a porous medium. In this paper we shall discuss in 3-D the relevance of the Rayleigh-Taylor condition, and the topology of the initial interface, in order to…
