On periodic Stokesian Hele-Shaw flows with surface tension. (English) Zbl 1148.76020

Summary: We consider a 2\(\pi \)-periodic and two-dimensional Hele-Shaw flow describing the motion of a viscous incompressible fluid. The free surface is moving under the influence of surface tension and gravity. The motion of the fluid is modelled using a modified version of Darcy’s law for Stokesian fluids. The bottom of the cell is assumed to be impermeable. We prove the existence of a unique classical solution for a domain which is a small perturbation of a cylinder. Moreover, we identify the equilibria of the flow and study their stability.
