Formation of Singularities in Fluid Interfaces

The interface between water and vacuum (governed by the "water wave equation"), and the interface between oil and water in sand (governed by the "Muskat equation") can develop singularities in finite time. Joint work with A. Castro, D. Cordoba, F. Gancedo, J. Gomez and M. Lopez.
