Abstract
We study a nonlinear partial differential equation describing the evolution of a foam drainage in one dimensional case which was proposed by Goldfarb et al. in 1988 in order to investigate the flow of liquid through channels (Plateau borders) and nodes (intersections of four channels) between the bubbles, driven by gravity and capillarity. Its mathematical studies so far are mainly restricted within numerical and particular solutions; as for mathematical analysis of it there are only a few. We prove that the free boundary problem for the foam drainage equation in the region below an interface to the bottom in a foam column admits a unique global-in-time classical solution by the standard classical mathematical method, the maximum principle. Moreover, the existence of its steady solution and its stability are shown.
期刊介绍:
Since 1960, the Journal of Mathematical Physics (JMP) has published some of the best papers from outstanding mathematicians and physicists. JMP was the first journal in the field of mathematical physics and publishes research that connects the application of mathematics to problems in physics, as well as illustrates the development of mathematical methods for such applications and for the formulation of physical theories.
The Journal of Mathematical Physics (JMP) features content in all areas of mathematical physics. Specifically, the articles focus on areas of research that illustrate the application of mathematics to problems in physics, the development of mathematical methods for such applications, and for the formulation of physical theories. The mathematics featured in the articles are written so that theoretical physicists can understand them. JMP also publishes review articles on mathematical subjects relevant to physics as well as special issues that combine manuscripts on a topic of current interest to the mathematical physics community.
JMP welcomes original research of the highest quality in all active areas of mathematical physics, including the following:
