Abstract

We consider the regularity of an interface between two incompressible and inviscid fluid flows in the presence of surface tension. We obtain local-in-time estimates on the interface in H(3/2)k+1 and the velocity fields in H(3/2)k. These estimates are obtained using geometric considerations which show that the Kelvin-Helmholtz instabilities are a consequence of a curvature calculation.
