We obtain the local well-posedness of a moving boundary problem that describes the swelling of a pocket of water within an infinitely thin elongated pore (i.e. on $ [a, +\infty), \ a>0 $). Our result involves fine a priori estimates of the moving boundary evolution, Banach fixed point arguments as well as an application of the general theory of evolution equations governed by subdifferentials.

Abstract

We obtain the local well-posedness of a moving boundary problem that describes the swelling of a pocket of water within an infinitely thin elongated pore (i.e. on $ [a, +\infty), \ a>0 $). Our result involves fine a priori estimates of the moving boundary evolution, Banach fixed point arguments as well as an application of the general theory of evolution equations governed by subdifferentials.
