We study the Muskat problem describing the vertical motion of two immiscible fluids in a two-dimensional homogeneous porous medium in an L p -setting with p ∈ (1, ∞). The Sobolev space $W_p^s(\mathbb R)$ with s = 1+1/p is a critical space for this problem. We prove, for each s ∈ (1+1/p, 2) that the Rayleigh–Taylor condition identifies an open subset of $W_p^s(\mathbb R)$ within which the Muskat problem is of parabolic type. This enables us to establish the local well-posedness of the problem in all these subcritical spaces together with a parabolic smoothing property.

AbstractIn this paper we establish the well-posedness of the Muskat problem with surface tension and equal viscosities in the subcritical Sobolev spaces $$W^s_p(\mathbb {R})$$ W p s ( R ) , where $${p\in (1,2]}$$ p ∈ ( 1 , 2 ] and $${s\in (1+1/p,2)}$$ s ∈ ( 1 + 1 / p , 2 ) . This is achieved by showing that the mathematical model can be formulated as a quasilinear parabolic evolution problem in $$W^{\overline{s}-2}_p(\mathbb {R})$$ W p s ¯ - 2 ( R ) , where $${\overline{s}\in (1+1/p,s)}$$ s ¯ ∈ ( 1 + 1 / p , s ) . Moreover, we prove that the solutions become instantly smooth and we provide a criterion for the global existence of solutions.

In this chapter we intend to investigate the stability of the Leray solutions constructed in the previous chapter. It is useful to start by analyzing the linearized version of the Navier–Stokes equations, so the first section of the chapter is devoted to the proof of the well-posedness of the time-dependent Stokes system. The study will be applied in Section 3.2 to the two-dimensional Navier–Stokes equations, and the more delicate case of three space dimensions will be dealt with in Sections 3.3–3.5.
