We solve a variant of Huisken's problem for open curves: we construct migrating elastic flows under the natural boundary conditions, extending previous work from the nonlocal flow to the purely local flow.
The free elastic flow is the $L^2$-gradient flow for Euler's elastic energy, or equivalently the Willmore flow with translation invariant initial data. In contrast to elastic flows under length penalisation or preservation, it is more…
In this note, we study an obstacle problem for the elastic flow. We prove the local-in-time existence of weak solutions and discuss their relation to classical solutions when additional regularity is obtained. Related results concerning…
We collect and present in a unified way several results in recent years about the elastic flow of curves and networks, trying to draw the state of the art of the subject. In particular, we give a complete proof of global existence and…
We consider closed curves in the hyperbolic space moving by the $L^2$-gradient flow of the elastic energy and prove well-posedness and long time existence. Under the additional penalisation of the length we show subconvergence to critical…
A finite element approach to the elastic flow of a curve coupled with a diffusion equation on the curve is analysed. Considering the graph case, the problem is weakly formulated and approximated with continuous linear finite elements, which…
We exploit a two-dimensional model [7], [6] and [1] describing the elastic behavior of the wall of a flexible blood vessel which takes interaction with surrounding muscle tissue and the 3D fluid flow into account. We study time periodic…
In arXiv:2205.02920 a variant of the classical elastic flow for closed curves in $\mathbb{R}^{n}$ was introduced, that is more suitable for numerical purposes. Here we investigate the long-time properties of such evolution demonstrating…
We consider a curve with boundary points free to move on a line in $\mathbb R^2$, which evolves by the $L^2$--gradient flow of the elastic energy, that is a linear combination of the Willmore and the length functional. For such planar…
We consider closed planar curves with fixed length and arbitrary winding number whose elastic energy depends on an additional density variable and a spontaneous curvature. Working with the inclination angle, the associated $L^2$-gradient…
We investigate the evolution of open curves with fixed endpoints under the curve shortening flow, which evolves curves in proportion to their curvature. Using a distance comparison of Huisken, we determine the long-term behavior of open…
In the paper published in Duke Math. J. 1993, Y. Wen studied a second-order parabolic equation for inextensible elastic \emph{closed} curves in $\mathbb{R}^{2}$ toward inextensible elasticae. In this article, we extend Wen's result to the…
Edges are abundant when elastic solids glide in guiding rails or fluids are contained in vessels. We here address induced displacements in elastic solids or small-scale flows in viscous fluids in the vicinity of one such edge. For this…
We perform a variational analysis of an elastic membrane spanning a closed curve which may sustain bending and torsion. First, we deal with parametrized curves and linear elastic membranes proving the existence of equilibria and finding…
In this work we will study the dynamics of a thin layer of a viscous fluid which is embedded in the interior of another viscous fluid. The resulting flow can be approximated by means of the solutions of a free boundary problem for the…
We study the length-preserving elastic flow of curves in arbitrary codimension with free boundary on hypersurfaces. This constrained gradient flow is given by a nonlocal evolution equation with nonlinear higher-order boundary conditions. We…
Within the framework of variational modelling we derive a one-phase moving boundary problem describing the motion of a semipermeable membrane enclosing a viscous liquid, driven by osmotic pressure and surface tension of the membrane. For…
The free elastic flow that begins at any curve exists for all time. If the initial curve is an $\omega$-fold covered circle (``$\omega$-circle'') the solution expands self-similarly. Very recently, Miura and the second author showed that…
This paper is devoted to classical variational problems for planar elastic curves of clamped endpoints, so-called Euler's elastica problem. We investigate a straightening limit that means enlarging the distance of the endpoints, and obtain…
We study dispersive models of fluid flow in viscoelastic vessels, derived in the study of blood flow. The unknowns in the models are the velocity of the fluid in the axial direction and the displacement of the vessel wall from rest. We…
