Abstract

In this paper, we present a scheme of convergence analysis of trial free boundary methods for the two-dimensional filtration (or dam) problem. For the purpose we present a new variational principle of the filtration problem. This variational principle is defined on the set of admissible domains (candidates of the solution) in the dam. Under mild assumptions on the configuration of the dam, we may assume that all admissible domains are mapped from the unit disk by conformal mappings. Thus, proving convergence of trial free boundaries is reduced to proving convergence of the conformal mappings on the unit disk, and it is done using a method in the theory of minimal surfaces.
