Kinetics of Swelling Gels
We develop a general theory of the swelling kinetics of polymer gels, with the view that a polymer gel is a two-phase fluid. The model we propose is a free boundary problem and ca...

The "Linear" Limit of Thin Film Flows as an Obstacle-Type Free Boundary Problem
We study the limit as n 0 of the nonnegative, self-similar source-type solutions of the thin film equation ut + (unuxxx)x = 0. We obtain a unique limiting function u, which is a s...

A numerical analysis of a model of growth tumor
In this paper we study a free boundary problem modeling the growth of tumors. The model uses the conventional ideas of nutrient diffusion and consumption by the cells. We consider...
