Abstract
For a given plane domain, we add a constant multiple of the Dirac measure at a point in the domain and make a new domain called a quadrature domain. The quadrature domain is characterized as a domain such that the integral of a harmonic and integrable function over the domain equals the integral of the function over the given domain plus the integral of the function with respect to the added measure. The family of quadrature domains can be modeled as the Hele-Shaw flow with a free-boundary problem. We regard the given domain as the initial domain and the support point of the Dirac measure as the injection point of the flow. We treat the case in which the initial domain has a corner on the boundary and discuss the shape of the time-dependent domain around the corner immediately after the initial time. If the interior angle of the corner is less than $\pi /2$, then it is a laminar-flow stationary corner, and if the angle is greater than $\pi /2$ but less than $2\pi$, then it is a laminar-flow point. The critical values of the interior angles are $\pi /2$ and $2\pi$. We give a criterion for whether a corner with interior angle $\pi /2$ is stationary. If the interior angle of the corner is $2\pi$, we call the corner a cusp. We give a sufficient condition for a cusp to be a laminar-flow point and prove that cusps appearing in the Hele-Shaw flow with a free-boundary problem are laminar-flow points. We give a sufficient condition for a cusp to be a turbulent-flow point as well.- Ahlfors, L. V., Untersuchungen zur Theorie der konformen Abbildung und der ganzen Funktionen, (German) Acta Soc. Sci.
