Classical solvability of a free boundary problem for an incompressible viscous fluid with a surface density equation. (English) Zbl 1292.35342

Summary: We investigate a mathematical model introduced by Shikhmurzaev to remove singularities that arise when classical hydrodynamic models are applied to certain physical phenomena. The model is described as a free boundary problem consisting of the Navier-Stokes equations and a surface mass balance equation. We prove the local-in-time solvability in Hölder spaces.
