We consider the evolution of two incompressible, immiscible fluids with different densities in porous media, known as the Muskat problem [21], which in two dimensions is analogous to the Hele-Shaw cell [26]. We establish, for a class of…
Over 125 years ago, Henry Selby Hele-Shaw realized that the depth-averaged flow in thin gap geometries can be closely approximated by two-dimensional (2D) potential flow, in a surprising marriage between the theories of viscous-dominated…
