On the curve diffusion flow of closed plane curves

The polyharmonic heat flow of closed plane curves

the effects of changing roughness on the flow structure in the bends

flow in natural river bends is a complex and turbulent phenomenon which affects the scour and sedimentations and causes an irregular bed topography on the bed. for the reason, the flow hydralics and the parameters which affect the flow to be studied and understand. in this study the effect of bed and wall roughness using the software fluent discussed in a sharp 90-degree flume bend with 40.3cm ...

A curve shortening flow rule for closed embedded plane curves with a prescribed rate of change in enclosed area.

Motivated by a problem from fluid mechanics, we consider a generalization of the standard curve shortening flow problem for a closed embedded plane curve such that the area enclosed by the curve is forced to decrease at a prescribed rate. Using formal asymptotic and numerical techniques, we derive possible extinction shapes as the curve contracts to a point, dependent on the rate of decreasing ...

On Partitions of Plane Sets into Simple Closed Curves

We investigate the conjecture that the complement in the euclidean plane E2 of a set F of cardinality less than the continuum c can be partitioned into simple closed curves iff F has a single point. The case in which F is finite was settled in [1] where it was used to prove that, among the compact connected two-manifolds, only the torus and the Klein bottle can be so partitioned. Here we prove ...

On the Curve Straightening Flow of Inextensible, Open, Planar Curves

We consider the curve straightening flow of inextensible, open, planar curves generated by the Kirchhoff bending energy. It can be considered as a model for the motion of elastic, inextensible rods in a high friction regime. We derive governing equations, namely a semilinear fourth order parabolic equation for the indicatrix and a second order elliptic equation for the Lagrange multiplier. We p...
