Abstract

In this paper, we are concerned with certain geometric properties of the moving boundary in the case of two-dimensional viscous fluid flows in Hele-Shaw cells under injection. We study the invariance in time of free boundary for such a bounded flow domain under the assumption of zero surface tension. By applying various results in the theory of univalent functions, we consider the invariance in time of starlikeness of a complex order, almost starlikeness of order α ∈ [0, 1), and almost spirallikeness of type γ∈(−π/2,π/2) and order α ∈ (0, cos γ). This work complements recent work on planar Hele-Shaw flow problems in the case of zero surface tension.
