Abstract:
Unsteady motion of viscous incompressible fluids is
considered in a bounded domain. The liquids are separated
by an unknown interface on which the surface tension is
neglected. This motion is governed by an interface problem
for the Navier–Stokes system. First, a local existence
theorem is established for the problem in Hölder classes
of functions. The proof is based on the solvability of a
model problem for the Stokes system with a plane interface
which was obtained earlier. Next, for a small initial
velocity vector field and small mass forces, we prove the
existence of a unique smooth solution to the problem on the
infinite time interval.
