Abstract
This paper is concerned with the motion of an incompressible, viscous fluid in a Hele-Shaw cell. The free surface is moving under the influence of gravity and the fluid is modelled using a modified Darcy law for Stokesian fluids. We combine results from the theory of quasilinear elliptic equations, analytic semigroups and Fourier multipliers to prove existence of a unique classical solution to the corresponding moving boundary problem.
