Level Set and Phase Field methods are well-known interface-capturing techniques for approximation of moving interfaces. In the first part of this project, a recently developed sharp-interface phase-field method [1] is implemented in Matlab and used to implicitly capture normal interface motion and interface advection by an external velocity field. The interface evolution equation is solved nume...

OBJECTIVE In a clinical setting, lipoma can sometime show low signal intensity on susceptibility-weighted imaging (SWI) mimicking hemorrhage. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the fat-water interface chemical-shift artifacts between SWI and T2*-weighted imaging with a phantom study and evaluate SWI in lipoma cases. MATERIALS AND METHODS SWI, magnitude, high-pass filtered phase, and T2...

This paper reports on the development of a model for the sub-filter surface tensioninduced motion of liquid/gas phase interfaces. A key feature of the proposed model is to take the sub-filter phase interface dynamics fully into account by employing a dual-scale approach. Instead of modeling the sub-filter phase interface geometry, it is resolved on an auxillary grid using the Refined Level Set ...

Unique interface reactions at the surface of sea-salt particles have been suggested as an important source of photolyzable gas-phase halogen species in the troposphere. Many factors influence the relative importance of interface chemistry compared to aqueous-phase chemistry. The Model of Aerosol, Gas, and Interfacial Chemistry (MAGIC 2.0) is used to study the influence of interface reactions on...
