We study the long-time behavior of solutions of the one-phase Stefan problem in inhomogeneous media in dimensions $n \geq 2$. Using the technique of rescaling which is consistent with the evolution of the free boundary, we are able to show…

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 "stiff pressure limit" of a nonlinear drift-diffusion equation, where the density is constrained to stay below the maximal value one. The challenge lies in the presence of a drift and the consequent lack of monotonicity in…

We consider the homogenization of the Hele-Shaw problem in periodic media that are inhomogeneous both in space and time. After extending the theory of viscosity solutions into this context, we show that the solutions of the inhomogeneous…

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…

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…

We propose a method to determine the smoothness of sufficiently flat solutions of one phase Hele-Shaw problems. The novelty is the observation that under a flatness assumption the free boundary --represented by the hodograph transform of…
