Gradient Flows of Interfacial Energies: Curvature Agents and Incompressibility
Keith Promislow, Truong Vu, Brian Wetton
We present a framework for the gradient flow of sharp-interface surface energies that couple to embedded curvature active agents. We use a penalty method to develop families of loc…

Quasisteady patterns in interfaces: Folding and Faceting
Vinh Nguyen, Keith Promislow, Brian Wetton
We present a systematic derivation of the gradient flows associated to a broad class of interfacial energies, emphasizing the relation between intrinsic and extrinsic variations of…
