A Thermodynamically Consistent Free Boundary Model for Two-Phase Flows in an Evolving Domain with Bulk-Surface Interaction

Patrik Knopf, Yadong Liu

We derive a thermodynamically consistent model, which describes the time evolution of a two-phase flow in an evolving domain. The movement of the free boundary of the domain is dri…

Long-time dynamics of a bulk-surface convective Cahn--Hilliard system: Pullback attractors and convergence to equilibrium

Patrik Knopf, Andrea Poiatti, Jonas Stange +1

We study the long-time dynamics of a bulk-surface convective Cahn--Hilliard system describing phase separation processes with bulk-surface interaction. The presence of convection t…

Nonlocal-to-local -convergence of convolution operators with singular, anisotropic kernels

Helmut Abels, Christoph Hurm, Patrik Knopf

We study nonlocal convolution-type operators with singular, possibly anisotropic kernels. Our main objective is to establish and quantify their nonlocal-to-local convergence to a l…

Curvature-driven pattern formation in biomembranes: A gradient flow approach

Patrik Knopf, Anastasija Pešić, Dennis Trautwein

In this work, we study a phase-field model for curvature-driven pattern formation in biomembranes. The model is derived as a gradient flow of an energy functional that approximates…

A thermodynamically consistent model for bulk-surface viscous fluid mixtures: Model derivation and mathematical analysis

Patrik Knopf, Jonas Stange

We derive and analyze a new diffuse interface model for incompressible, viscous fluid mixtures with bulk-surface interaction. Our system consists of a Navier--Stokes--Cahn--Hilliar…

Regularity of a bulk-surface Cahn-Hilliard model driven by Leray velocity fields

Andrea Giorgini, Patrik Knopf, Jonas Stange

We consider a convective bulk-surface Cahn--Hilliard system with dynamic boundary conditions and singular potentials. For this model, well-posedness results concerning weak and str…
