Abstract
Saturated-unsaturated flow of an incompressible fluid through a porous medium is considered in the case of time-dependent water levels. This corresponds to coupling the mass conservation law with a continuous constitutive condition between water content and pressure. An existence result for the corresponding weak formulation is proved. Finally we study the limit as the constitutive relation degenerates into a maximal monotone graph.
