A two-phase flow with a viscous and an inviscid fluid

Journal Article · · Communications in Partial Differential Equations
The author studies the free boundary between a viscous and an inviscid fluid satisfying the Navier-Stokes and Euler equations respectively. Surface tension is incorporated. He read the equations as a free boundary problem for one viscous fluid with a nonlocal boundary force. He decomposes the pressure distribution in the inviscid fluid into two contributions. A positivity result for the first, and a compactness property for the second contribution are derived. He proves a short time existence theorem for the two-phase problem.
