A fluid-solid interaction problem in porous media
Abstract
In this work, we derive asymptotic interface models for an elastic Muskat free boundary problem describing Darcy flow beneath an elastic membrane. In a weakly nonlinear regime of small interface steepness, we obtain nonlocal evolution equations that capture the free-boundary dynamics up to quadratic order. In the long-wave thin-film regime, we rewrite the kinematic condition in flux form, flatten the moving domain, and derive a lubrication-type equation. Moreover, we establish well-posedness for these models in suitable Wiener spaces.
