We study a model for the evolution of an axially symmetric bubble of inviscid fluid in a homogeneous porous medium otherwise saturated with a viscous fluid. The model is a moving boundary problem that is a higher-dimensional analogue of…

In this paper, we study the dynamics of a two-dimensional viscous fluid evolving through a porous medium or a Hele-Shaw cell, driven by gravity and surface tension. A key feature of this study is that the fluid is confined within a vessel…

The evolution of a two-phase Hele-Shaw problem, a Muskat problem, under assumption of a negligible surface tension is considered. We use the Schwarz function approach and allow the sinks and sources to be line distributions with disjoint…

We develop a numerical method for solving a free boundary problem which describes shape relaxation, by surface tension, of a long and thin bubble of an inviscid fluid trapped inside a viscous fluid in a Hele-Shaw cell. The method of…

New numerical solutions to the so-called selection problem for one and two steadily translating bubbles in an unbounded Hele-Shaw cell are presented. Our approach relies on conformal mapping which, for the two-bubble problem, involves the…

A pair of concentric spheres separated by a small gap form a spherical Hele-Shaw cell. In this cell an interfacial instability arises when two immiscible fluids flow. We derive the equation of motion for the interface perturbation…

We study a diffuse interface model describing the evolution of the flow of a binary fluid in a Hele-Shaw cell. The model consists of a Cahn-Hilliard-Darcy (CHD) type system with transport and mass source. A relevant physical application is…

A large population limit of the parabolic-parabolic Patlak-Keller-Segel (PKS) system with degenerate, nonlinear diffusion, e.g., of porous medium-type $-\frac{m}{m-1}\mathrm{div}(\rho \nabla \rho^{m-1})$, is studied. We show,…

We propose a method of construction of exact solutions of free boundary problems corresponding to Hele-Shaw flows in presence of an external field. Such a field may arise, in particular, due to electrokinetic phenomena. Both a general…

Hele-Shaw problems are prototypes to study the interface dynamics. Linear theory suggests the existence of self-similar patterns in a Hele-Shaw flow. That is, with a specific injection flux the interface shape remains unchanged while its…
