Diffuse Interface Modeling of Some Interface Problems
Penn State
We discuss examples of diffuse interface (phase field) models for interface problems involving elastic energy contributions. A particular focus is on models of vesicle membranes, including both single and multicomponent vesicles and those interacting with an adhesive substrate and those with a background fluid. We present the mathematical derivations and compare results of numerical simulations with experimental findings.
