Problem on the motion of two compressible fluids separated by a closed free interface (Q1129787)

We consider the evolution of two barotropic capillary viscous compressible fluids occuping the whole space \(\mathbb{R}^3\) and separated by a closed free interface. Under some restrictions on the fluid viscosities, we obtain the local (in time) unique solvability of this problem in Sobolev-Slobodetskij spaces. The proof is based on the method of successive approximations and on an explicit solution of a model linear problem with the plane interface between the fluids.
