We apply a phase field approach for a general shape optimization problem of a stationary Navier-Stokes flow. To be precise we add a multiple of the Ginzburg--Landau energy as a regularization to the objective functional and relax the…

To avoid possible singularities in the Willmore flow, one usually works under an energy threshold provided by the Li-Yau inequality. Here we improve this threshold by also considering parts outside of a possible singularity together with…
