Non-local degenerate parabolic systems arise in three-phase capillary flows in porous media under a pressure control at the inflow- and outflow-boundaries. A mathematical study of such systems is performed for a class of capillarity pressure functions corresponding to triangular capillarity-diffusion tensors. To this end a theory of non-degenerate parabolic approximations is developed: the unique global solvability of initial boundary-value problems is proved.

The initial-boundary value problem for the system of one-dimensional isothermal motion of viscous liquid in deformable viscous porous medium is considered. Local theorem of existence and uniqueness of problem is proved in case of compressible liquid. In case of incompressible liquid the theorem of global solvability in time is proved in Holder classes. A feature of the model of fluid filtration in a porous medium considered in this paper is the inclusion of the mobility of the solid skeleton and its poroelastiс properties. The transition from Euler variables to Lagrangian variables is used in the proof of the theorems.

We consider an initial boundary value problem for the non-local equation, ut = uxx+λf(u)/(∫1-1f (u)dx)2, with Robin boundary conditions. It is known that there exists a critical value of the parameter λ, say λ*, such that for λ > λ* there is no stationary solution and the solution u(x, t) blows up globally in finite time t*, while for λ < λ* there exist stationary solutions. We find, for decreasing f and for λ > λ*, upper and lower bounds for t*, by using comparison methods. For f(u) = e−u, we give an asymptotic estimate: t* ∼ tu(λ−λ*)−1/2 for 0 < (λ−λ*) [Lt ] 1, where tu is a constant. A numerical estimate is obtained using a Crank-Nicolson scheme.
