We study a geometric flow on curves, immersed in $\mathbb{R}^3$, that have strictly positive torsion. The evolution equation is given by $$X_{t}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{\tau}} \textbf{B}$$ where $\tau$ is the torsion and $\textbf{B}$ is the unit…

We consider one of the generic regimes of formation of singularities. We obtain a detailed description of a possibly small, but fixed, neighborhood of the blowup point, up to (and including) the blowup time, and find that it is mean convex.…
