Summary: The authors study the time evolution of the free boundary of a viscous fluid in the non-zero-surface-tension models for planar flows in Hele-Shaw cells under injection. Applying methods of conformal map they prove that certain geometric properties, such as starlikeness and directional convexity, are preserved in time.
