Abstract:
| | Many important phenomena are characterized by the presence of
interfaces that separate, for example, different chemical species.
Significant
examples are the behavior of multi-phase fluids, tumor growth
dynamics, reconstruction of deteriorated images (in painting) or
self-assembly processes in diblock copolymers. A very effective
approach to deal with these interfaces consists in formulating
suitable phase field or diffuse interface problems whose paradigmatic
equations are of Allen-Cahn or Cahn-Hilliard type, possibly coupled
with other equations like, e.g., the Navier-Stokes system. This area
has been very active for the past few decades both from the
theoretical and the numerical viewpoint. The present session intends
to focus on the recent progresses made in both issues. |
