Abstract: We consider the Muskat problem describing the viscous displacement in a two-phase fluid system located in an unbounded two-dimensional porous medium or Hele-Shaw cell. After formulating the mathematical model as an evolution problem for the sharp interface between the fluids, we show that Muskat problem with surface tension is a quasilinear parabolic problem, whereas, in the absence of surface tension effects, the Rayleigh-Taylor condition identifies a domain of parabolicity for the fully nonlinear problem. Based upon these aspects, we then establish the local well-posedness for arbitrary large initial data in $H^s$, $s>2$, if surface tension is taken into account, respectively for arbitrary large initial data in $H^2$ that additionally satisfy the Rayleigh-Taylor condition if surface tension effects are neglected. We also show that the problem exhibits the parabolic smoothing effect and we provide criteria for the global existence of solutions.
