Abstract
In this paper, by applying methods from complex analysis, we analyse the time evolution of the free boundary of a viscous fluid for planar flows in Hele-Shaw cells under injection in the non-zero surface tension case. We study the invariance in time of α-convexity (for α ∈ [0, 1] this is a geometric property which provides a continuous passage from starlikeness to convexity) for bounded domains. In this case we show that the α-convexity property of the moving boundary in a Hele-Shaw flow problem with small surface tension is preserved in time for α ≤ 0. For unbounded domains (with bounded complement) we prove the invariance in time of convexity.
