Let \(z=\eta(x,y,t)\),\ \( t\in [0,T]\) be an equation of a free boundary, \(\Omega_t=\{(x,y,z): -1<z<\eta(x,y,t)\}\), \(S_F=\{(x,y,z): z=\eta(x,y,t)\}\), \(S_B=\{(x,y,z): z=-1\}\), and \(\widehat{n}=(n_1, n_2, n_3)\) be the outward normal to \(S_F\). The following free boundary problem \[ v_t+v\cdot\nabla v-\mu \Delta v+\nabla p =0, \qquad \nabla\cdot v = 0 \quad \text{in }\Omega_t, \] \[ \eta|_{t=0}=\eta_0(x,y), \qquad v|_{t=0}=v_0(x,y,z) \quad \text{in }\Omega_0=\{(x,y,z): -1<z<\eta_0(x,y)\}, \] \[ v=0 \quad \text{on }S_B, \] \[ \eta_t=v_3-v_1\partial_x\eta-v_2\partial_y\eta, \quad pn_i=\mu(v_{i,j}+v_{j,i})n_j+ \bigg(g\eta-\beta\nabla\cdot \bigg(\frac{\nabla\eta}{\sqrt{1+|\nabla\eta|^2}}\bigg)\bigg)n_i \quad \text{on }S_F. \] is studied. The author proves that for the sufficiently small initial functions \(v_0\in H^2\), \(\eta_0\in H^3\) the problem has a unique, global in time solution \((u, \eta, p)\) in suitable Sobolev spaces and obtains an estimate of the norm of the solution via the sum of the norms of the initial function.
