It has been recently discovered that both the surface tension driven one-phase Hele-Shaw flow and its lubrication approximation can be understood as (continuous limits of time-discretized) gradient flows of the corresponding surface energy functionals with respect to the Wasserstein metric. Here we complete the connection between the two problems, proving that the time-discretized lubrication approximation is the F-limit of suitably rescaled time-discretized Hele-Shaw flows in half space.

Abstract

It has been recently discovered that both the surface tension driven one-phase Hele-Shaw flow and its lubrication approximation can be understood as (continuous limits of time-discretized) gradient flows of the corresponding surface energy functionals with respect to the Wasserstein metric. Here we complete the connection between the two problems, proving that the time-discretized lubrication approximation is the F-limit of suitably rescaled time-discretized Hele-Shaw flows in half space.
