A moving boundary problem for the Stokes equations involving osmosis: Variational modelling and short-time well-posedness

Friedrich Lippoth, Mark A. Peletier, Georg Prokert · European Journal of Applied Mathematics · 2015

Within the framework of variational modelling we derive a one-phase moving boundary problem describing the motion of a semipermeable membrane enclosing a viscous liquid, driven by osmotic pressure and surface tension of the membrane. For this problem we prove the existence of classical solutions for a short-time.
