Two-sided Mullins-Sekerka flow
نویسنده
چکیده
The (two-sided) Mullins-Sekerka model is a nonlocal evolution model for closed hypersurfaces, which was originally proposed as a model for phase transitions of materials of negligible specific heat. Under this evolution the propagating interfaces maintain the enclosed volume while the area of the interfaces decreases. We will show by means of an example that the Mullins-Sekerka flow does not preserve convexity in two space dimensions, where we consider both the Mullins-Sekerka model on a bounded domain, and the Mullins-Sekerka model defined on the whole plane.

One - sided Mullins - Sekerka Flow Does Not Preserve Convexity ∗ Uwe
The Mullins-Sekerka model is a nonlocal evolution model for hypersurfaces, which arises as a singular limit for the Cahn-Hilliard equation. Assuming the existence of sufficiently smooth solutions we will show that the one-sided Mullins-Sekerka flow does not preserve convexity. Introduction The Mullins-Sekerka flow is a nonlocal generalization of the mean curvature flow arising from physics [10,...
متن کاملLoss of convexity for a modified Mullins-Sekerka model arising in diblock copolymer melts†
This modified (two-sided) Mullins-Sekerka model is a nonlocal evolution model for closed hypersurfaces, which appears as a singular limit of a modified Cahn-Hilliard equation describing microphase separation of diblock copolymer. Under this evolution the propagating interfaces maintain the enclosed volumes of the two phases. We will show by means of an example that this model does not preserve ...
متن کاملCrossover in coarsening rates for the monopole approximation of the Mullins-Sekerka model with kinetic drag
The Mullins-Sekerka sharp-interface model for phase transitions interpolates between attachment-limited and diffusion-limited kinetics if kinetic drag is included in the Gibbs-Thomson interface condition. Heuristics suggest that the typical length scale of patterns may exhibit a crossover in coarsening rate from l(t) ∼ t1/2 at short times to l(t) ∼ t1/3 at long times. We establish rigorous, uni...
متن کاملAn analysis of two classes of phase field models for void growth and coarsening in irradiated crystalline solids
A formal asymptotic analysis of two classes of phase field models for void growth and coarsening in irradiated solids has been performed to assess their sharp-interface kinetics. It was found that the sharp interface limit of type B models, which include only point defect concentrations as order parameters governed by Cahn-Hilliard equations, captures diffusion-controlled kinetics. It was also ...
متن کاملFinite element approximation of one-sided Stefan problems with anisotropic, approximately crystalline, Gibbs-Thomson law
We present a finite element approximation for the one-sided Stefan problem and the one-sided Mullins–Sekerka problem, respectively. The problems feature a fully anisotropic Gibbs–Thomson law, as well as kinetic undercooling. Our approximation, which couples a parametric approximation of the moving boundary with a finite element approximation of the bulk quantities, can be shown to satisfy a sta...
