We study a linearized Mullins-Sekerka/Stokes system in a bounded domain with various boundary conditions. This system plays an important role to prove the convergence of a Stokes/Cahn-Hilliard system to its sharp interface limit, which is a Stokes/Mullins-Sekerka system, and to prove solvability of the latter system locally in time. We prove solvability of the linearized system in suitable $ L^2 $-Sobolev spaces with the aid of a maximal regularity result for non-autonomous abstract linear evolution equations.

Keywords: Two-phase flow, sharp interface limit, Cahn-Hilliard equation, free boundary problems, Mullins-Sekerka equation.
