We prove that the Cauchy problem is well-posed in a strong sense and in a general setting. Our main result is the construction of an abstract semi-flow for the Hele-Shaw problem within general fluid domains (enabling, for instance, changes…
We complete previous results about the incompressible limit of both the $n$-dimensional $(n\geq3)$ compressible Patlak-Keller-Segel (PKS) model and its stationary state. As in previous works, in this limit, we derive the weak form of a…
We consider the Hele-Shaw problem in a randomly perforated domain with zero Neumann boundary conditions. A homogenization limit is obtained as the characteristic scale of the domain goes to zero. Specifically, we prove that the solutions as…
Topology changes in multi-phase fluid flows are difficult to model within a traditional sharp interface theory. Diffuse interface models turn out to be an attractive alternative to model two-phase flows. Based on a…
We present regularity results for nonlinear drift-diffusion equations of porous medium type (together with their incompressible limit). We relax the assumptions imposed on the drift term with respect to previous results and additionally…
Convection-driven porous media flows are common in industrial processes and in nature. The multiscale and multiphase character of these systems and the inherent non-linear flow dynamics make convection in porous media a complex phenomenon.…
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…
A mathematical model for tissue growth is considered. This model describes the dynamics of the density of cells due to pressure forces and proliferation. It is known that such cell population model converges at the incompressible limit…
This paper investigates the connection between the chemotaxis--Navier--Stokes system with porous medium type nonlinear diffusion and the Hele--Shaw problem in $\mathbb{R}^d$ ($d\geq2$). First, we prove the global-in-time existence of weak…
We rigorously prove the convergence of appropriately scaled solutions of the 2D Hele-Shaw moving boundary problem with surface tension in the limit of thin threads to the solution of the formally corresponding Thin Film equation. The proof…
An useful approximation for the displacement of two immiscible fluids in a porous medium is the Hele-Shaw model. We consider several liquids with different constant viscosities, inserted between the displacing fluids. The linear stability…
We study a Cahn-Hilliard-Hele-Shaw (or Cahn-Hilliard-Darcy) system for an incompressible mixture of two fluids. The relative concentration difference $\varphi$ is governed by a convective nonlocal Cahn-Hilliard equation with degenerate…
A nonlocal interface equation is derived for two-phase fluid flow, with arbitrary wettability and viscosity contrast c=(mu_1-mu_2)/(mu_1+mu_2), in a model porous medium defined as a Hele-Shaw cell with random gap b_0+delta b. Fluctuations…
We derive the porous medium equation from an interacting particle system which belongs to the family of exclusion processes, with nearest neighbor exchanges. The particles follow a degenerate dynamics, in the sense that the jump rates can…
We provide a new existence result for weak solutions to the one-dimensional Euler equations with a maximal density constraint, corresponding to a unilateral constraint on the density. Such models arise in the description of congestion…
We investigate a Hele-Shaw type free boundary problem in one spatial dimension, where heterogeneities appear both on the free boundary and within the interior of the positivity set. Our contributions are twofold. First, we establish…
We study the well-posedness of the Cauchy problem for a fractional porous medium equation with a varying density. We establish existence of weak energy solutions; uniqueness and nonuniqueness is studied as well, according with the behavior…
We consider a congested aggregation model that describes the evolution of a density through the competing effects of nonlocal Newtonian attraction and a hard height constraint. This provides a counterpoint to existing literature on…
A Hele-Shaw cell is a device used to study fluid flow between two parallel plates separated by a small gap. The governing equation of flow within a Hele-Shaw cell is Darcy's law, which also describes flow through a porous medium. In this…
We study a porous medium equation that models tissue growth in a heterogeneous environment. We show that, in the incompressible limit, solutions converge to those of a weak form of a Hele-Shaw type free boundary problem. To obtain enough…
