CUSP DEVELOPMENT IN HELE-SHAW FLOW WITH A FREE-SURFACE
Free surface flow in a Hele-Shaw cell is considered. It has been known for some time that when the fluid region is contracting, a finite time blow-up can occur, in which a cusp forms in the free surface, the solution does not exist beyond the time of blow-up. Examples are presented of this blow-up,...

| description | Free surface flow in a Hele-Shaw cell is considered. It has been known for some time that when the fluid region is contracting, a finite time blow-up can occur, in which a cusp forms in the free surface, the solution does not exist beyond the time of blow-up. Examples are presented of this blow-up, and also of a new process in which a cusp of a different type forms in the free surface, but after which the solution continues to exist. After a transformation of the dependent variable (the pressure) the new cusps are related to permissible singularities in the free boundary of the 'obstacle' problem. |
