contents We investigate a Hele-Shaw type free boundary problem in one spatial dimension, where heterogeneities appear both on the free boundary and within the interior of the positivity set. Our contributions are twofold. First, we establish well-posedness and a comparison principle for the problem by introducing a novel notion of viscosity flows. Second, under the assumption that the coefficients are stationary ergodic, we prove a stochastic homogenization result. Our results are new even in the periodic setting. To derive the effective free boundary velocity, we use a new approximation that accounts for both interior homogenization and free boundary propagation.
