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).…

We study the evolution of the interface given by two incompressible fluids with different densities in the porous strip $\RR\times[-l,l]$. This problem is known as the Muskat problem and is analogous to the two phase Hele-Shaw cell. The…

We consider the Muskat problem with surface tension for one fluid or two fluids, with or without viscosity jump, with infinite depth or Lipschitz rigid boundaries, and in arbitrary dimension $d$ of the interface. The problem is nonlocal,…

This paper is a continuation of the work in \cite{kimzhang2024} concerning Hele-Shaw flow with both drift and source terms. We prove that, in a local neighborhood, if the free boundary is Lipschitz continuous with a sufficiently small…

In this paper, we establish the existence of global self-similar solutions to the 3D Muskat equation when the two fluids have the same viscosity but different densities. These self-similar solutions are globally defined in both space and…

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…

We study the dynamics of the interface between two incompressible 2-D flows where the evolution equation is obtained from Darcy's law. The free boundary is given by the discontinuity among the densities and viscosities of the fluids. This…
