Abstract: We present a hyperbolic-elliptic model problem related to the equations of two-phase fluid flow. The model problem is solved numerically, and properties of its solution are presented. The model equation is well-posed when linearized around a constant state, but there is a strong focusing effect, and very large solutions exist at certain times. We prove that the model problem has a smooth solution for bounded times.
