چکیده

We show how to construct a convolution kernel that has a desired anisotropic surface tension and desired anisotropic mobility to be used in threshold dynamics schemes for simulating weighted motion by mean curvature of interfaces, including networks of them, in both two and three dimensions. Moreover, we discuss necessary and sufficient conditions for the positivity of the kernel which, in the case of two-phase flow, ensures that the resulting scheme respects a comparison principle and implies convergence to the viscosity solution of the level set formulation of the flow. In particular, we show, in a barrier-type statement, that the kernel cannot possibly be positive unless both the mobility and the surface tension satisfy necessary conditions in three dimensions, and give a complete characterization. Among other results is a threshold dynamics scheme that is guaranteed to dissipate a nonlocal approximation to the interfacial energy in the fully anisotropic, multiphase setting, using the new kernel construction.

Threshold Dynamics for Anisotropic Surface Energies∗

We study extensions of Merriman, Bence, and Osher’s threshold dynamics scheme to weighted mean curvature flow, which arises as gradient descent for anisotropic (normal dependent) surface energies. In particular, we investigate, in both two and three dimensions, those anisotropies for which the convolution kernel in the scheme can be chosen to be positive and / or to possess a positive Fourier t...

Threshold dynamics of singular gravity-capillary waves.

Surface wave experiments confirm predictions of a threshold amplitude for droplet ejection. Droplet ejection and spray originate from highly focused surface singularities in the simplest states. The threshold is found to be dependent on forcing frequency and surface tension in accordance with a simple scaling theory presented here. Linear stability analysis indicates that the dynamics of the ej...

نگاشت همدیس در طرح‌های انگشتی سافمن- تیلور

 We studied the growth of viscous fingers as a Laplacian growth by conformal mapping. Viscous fingers grow due to Saffman-Taylor instability in the interface between two fluids, when a less viscous fluid pushes a more viscous fluid. As there was an interest in the rectangular Hele-Shaw cell, we solved the Laplacian equation with appropriate boundary conditions by means of conformal mapping tech...
