Global Wellposedness for the Hele-Shaw Problem with Point Injection
Zhengjun(Jasper) Liang
We study the two-dimensional Hele-Shaw problem with point injection for star-shaped domains. We reduce the system to a nonlocal parabolic equation of the interface, and for arbitrary Lipschitz initial interface away from the source, we prove global well-posedness of the interface equation in a strong sense. We also introduce a viscosity-solution framework for the interface equation and relate it to the classical viscosity theory for the Hele-Shaw problem.
