Parabolic regularization and behaviour of the free boundary for unsaturated flow in a porous medium.
A model of filtration in a multispecies porous medium accompanied by a strong interaction between the flow and the porous matrix is presented. The species removed by the flow are both fine particles and other substances which diffuse in the liquid. The accumulation of the migrating particles in proximity of the outflow surface gives rise to the formation of a compact layer with high hydraulic resistance. The corresponding mathematical model consists in a set of partial differential equations of...
