Abstract
In the paper, we consider the evolution of the free boundary separating two immiscible viscous fluids with different constant densities in an absolutely rigid solid body and in an elastic skeleton. The motion of the liquids is described by the Stokes equations driven by the input pressure and the force of gravity. For flows in a bounded domain, we prove the existence and uniqueness of classical solutions and emphasize the study of the properties of the moving boundary separating the two fluids.
