This paper is interested in a free boundary problem modelling a phenomenon of cavitation in hydrodynamic lubrication. We reformulate the problem (see Boukrouche, (1993)) in a large context by introducing two positive parameters, namely, N0 and a. We build a weak formulation and establish the existence of the solution to the problem.

We investigate a mathematical model introduced by Shikhmurzaev to remove singularities that arise when classical hydrodynamic models are applied to certain physical phenomena. The model is described as a free boundary problem consisting of the Navier-Stokes equations and a surface mass balance equation. We prove the local-in-time solvability in Hölder spaces.
