Porous media: The {M}uskat problem in three dimensions

Antonio Córdoba, Diego Córdoba and Francisco Gancedo

Vol. 6 (2013), No. 2, 447–497
Abstract

The Muskat problem involves filtration of two incompressible fluids through a porous medium. We consider the problem in three dimensions, discussing the relevance of the Rayleigh–Taylor condition and the topology of the initial interface, in order to prove the local existence of solutions in Sobolev spaces.

Keywords
porous media, incompressible flow, free boundary, Muskat problem, local existence
