Abstract

A moving boundary problem for one phase Hele-Shaw flow with surface tension is considered. The fluid domain is unbounded and its boundary has an infinite length, and a finite number of suction (or injection) points are given. This is a mathematical model of the ‘fingering phenomenon’. We prove the existence of a unique solution locally in time.
