Abstract
Consider the two-phase free boundary problem subject to surface tension and gravitational forces for a class of non-Newtonian fluids with stress tensors Tn of the form (Formula presented.) for (Formula presented.), respectively, where the viscosity functions (Formula presented.) satisfy (Formula presented.) and (Formula presented.) for (Formula presented.). It is shown that for given (Formula presented.) this problem admits a unique strong solution on (0,T) provided the initial data are sufficiently small in their natural norms.
