Free Boundary Problems and Variational Inequalities.
Abstract
The study of steady fluid flow through porous media leads to the consideration of elliptic free boundary problems in the unknown function 'piezometric head'. An integration along the vertical direction transforms these free boundary problems into variational (or quasi-variational) inequalities, which are easier to study both from the theoretical and from the numerical point of view.
