On the Occurrence of Singularities in Axisymmetrical Problems of Hele-Shaw Type

  • Chapter
Free Boundary Problems in Continuum Mechanics

Abstract

It is well known that a Hele-Shaw cell is formed by two parallel plates very close to each other, the space between them being partly filled by a liquid which can be injected or extracted through a horifice. In [3] it is shown that for a sufficiently small spacing d between the plates the problem can be considered two-dimensional and, if we denote by P(x,y,t) the pressure in the fluid, the zone where P > 0 is filled with liquid, while the region where P = 0 corresponds to a “dry” zone.
