Abstract

The two-phase horizontally periodic quasistationary Stokes flow in R2, describing the motion of two immiscible fluids with equal viscosities that are separated by a sharp interface, parameterized as the graph of a function f = f (t), is considered in the general case when both gravity and surface tension effects are included. Using potential theory, the moving boundary problem is formulated as a fully nonlinear and nonlocal parabolic problem for the function f. Based on abstract parabolic theory, it is shown that the problem is well-posed in all subcritical spaces Hr (S), with r E (3/2, 2). Moreover, the stability properties of the flat equilibria are analyzed in dependence on the physical properties of the fluids.
