We have decided to discontinue the publication of preprints on our preprint server as of 1 March 2024. The publication culture within mathematics has changed so much due to the rise of repositories such as ArXiV (www.arxiv.org) that we are encouraging all institute members to make their preprints available there. An institute's repository in its previous form is, therefore, unnecessary. The preprints published to date will remain available here, but we will not add any new preprints here.

On the Notion of Generalized Solutions of Viscous Incompressible Two-Phase Flows
Helmut Abels
Abstract
In this article we review different approaches to the existence of solutions of a two-phase flow of two viscous, incompressible fluids globally in time. We compare the known results in the cases with and without surface tension. In particular, we discuss properties of the free surface/ the interface between the two fluids.
