The paper deals with a free boundary value problem arising from the injection-compression moulding process of a fluid into a finite Hele-Shaw cell. The original problem for a pressure field \(p=p(x,t)\) is transformed by the transformation \(u(x,t)=\int_0^t p(x,\tau) d\tau\) into the variational inequality: Find \(u=u(t)\in K\) for a.e. \(t\in (0,T]\) such that \[ \begin{aligned} &\int_\Omega a\nabla u(t)\cdot \nabla(v-u(t)) dx\geq \int_\Omega\Big\lgroup \int_0^t \dfrac {\partial a}{\partial t}\nabla u d\tau\Big\rgroup\cdot \nabla(v-u(t)) dx+\\ &\int_\Omega f(t)(v-u(t)) dx\quad \forall v\in K,\quad K=\{v\in H^1(\Omega):\;v\geq 0\;\text{a.e. in} \Omega\}. \end{aligned} \] Using the method of successive iterations the existence and uniqueness of a solution \(u\in L^{\infty}(0,T;H^1(\Omega))\) and its regularity properties are verified.
