On a Mullins-Sekerka model for the growth of active droplets modelling protocells: Stability analysis and numerical computations
Harald Garcke, Kei Fong Lam, Robert Nürnberg +1
Mullins-Sekerka models with chemical reactions can lead to scenarios where droplets grow, become unstable, split, grow and undergo further division. These grow and division cycles…
Two-phase flows through porous media described by a Cahn--Hilliard--Brinkman model with dynamic boundary conditions
Pierluigi Colli, Patrik Knopf, Giulio Schimperna +1
We investigate a new diffuse-interface model that describes creeping two-phase flows (i.e., flows exhibiting a low Reynolds number), especially flows that permeate a porous medium.…
The anisotropic Cahn--Hilliard equation with degenerate mobility: Existence of weak solutions
Harald Garcke, Patrik Knopf, Andrea Signori
This paper presents an existence result for the anisotropic Cahn--Hilliard equation characterized by a potentially concentration-dependent degenerate mobility taking into account a…
Complex pattern formation governed by a Cahn-Hilliard-Swift-Hohenberg system: Analysis and numerical simulations
Harald Garcke, Kei Fong Lam, Robert Nürnberg +1
This paper investigates a Cahn-Hilliard-Swift-Hohenberg system, focusing on a three-species chemical mixture subject to physical constraints on volume fractions. The resulting syst…
