Global solvability of compressible–incompressible two-phase flows with phase transitions in bounded domains

Consider a free boundary problem of compressible-incompressible two-phase flows with surface tension and phase transition in bounded domains Ω_t+, Ω_t− ⊂ R^N, N ≥ 2, where the domains are separated by a sharp compact interface Γ_t ⊂ R^N−1 . We prove a global in time unique existence theorem for such free boundary problem under the assumption that the initial data are sufficiently small and the initial domain of the incompressible fluid is close to a ball. In particular, we obtain the solution in the maximal L_p − L_q-regularity class with 2 < p < ∞ and N < q < ∞ and exponential stability of the corresponding analytic semigroup on the infinite time interval.
