Abstract
Fluid diffusion in unsaturated porous media manifests strong hysteresis effects due to surface tension on the liquid-gas interface. We describe hysteresis in the pressure-saturation relation by means of the Preisach operator, which makes the resulting evolutionary PDE strongly degenerate. We prove the existence and uniqueness of a strong global solution in arbitrary space dimension using a special weak convexity concept.
期刊介绍:
Series S of Discrete and Continuous Dynamical Systems only publishes theme issues. Each issue is devoted to a specific area of the mathematical, physical and engineering sciences. This area will define a research frontier that is advancing rapidly, often bridging mathematics and sciences. DCDS-S is essential reading for mathematicians, physicists, engineers and other physical scientists. The journal is published bimonthly.
