A degenerate parabolic system for three-phase flows in porous media
Annales mathématiques Blaise Pascal, Tome 14 (2007) no. 2, pp. 243-254.

A classical model for three-phase capillary immiscible flows in a porous medium is considered. Capillarity pressure functions are found, with a corresponding diffusion-capillarity tensor being triangular. The model is reduced to a degenerate quasilinear parabolic system. A global existence theorem is proved under some hypotheses on the model data.
