Abstract

We consider the problem of evolution of a finite isolated mass of a viscous incompressible liquid with a free surface. We assume that the initial configuration of the liquid hasn arbitrary shape, the initial free boundary possesses a certain regularity and the initial velocity satisfies only natural compatibility and regularity conditions (but its smallness is not assumed). We prove that this problem is well posed, i.e., we construct a local in time solution belonging to some Sobolev–Slobodetskii spaces. We expect that this result can be helpful for the analysis of more complicated problems, for instance, problems of magnetohydrodynamics. Bibliography: 9 titles.
