The thin interface limit aims at minimizing the effects arising from a numerical interface thickness, inherent in diffuse interface models of solidification and microstructure evolution such as the phase field model. While the original…

The growth of a rough interface through a random media is modelled by a continuous stochastic equation with a quenched noise. By use of the Novikov theorem we can transform the dependence of the noise on the interface height into an…

Roughness of driven elastic interfaces in random media is typically understood to be characterized by a single roughness exponent $\zeta$. We show that at the depinning threshold, due to symmetry breaking caused by the direction of the…

We study pattern formation, fluctuations and scaling induced by a growth-promoting active walker on an otherwise static interface. Active particles on an interface define a simple model for energy consuming proteins embedded in the plasma…

We analyze intermittence and roughening of an elastic interface or domain wall pinned in a periodic potential, in the presence of random-bond disorder in (1+1) and (2+1) dimensions. Though the ensemble average behavior is smooth, the…

We study interface fluctuations for the $1$D stochastic Allen-Cahn equation perturbed by half a spatial derivative of the spacetime white noise. This half derivative makes the solution distribution-valued, so that proper renormalization is…

We consider the interplay of thermal fluctuations and shear on the surface of the domains in various systems coarsening under an imposed shear flow. These include systems with nonconserved and conserved dynamics, and a conserved order…

A novel local evolution equation for one-dimensional interfaces is derived in the context of erosion by ion beam sputtering. We present numerical simulations of this equation which show interrupted coarsening in which an ordered cell…

We study numerically the correlations and the distribution of intervals between successive zeros in the fluctuating geometry of stochastic interfaces, described by the Edwards-Wilkinson equation. For equilibrium states we find that the…

We investigate some unstable behavior of the interface given by two incompressible fluids of different densities evolving by the regular Stokes law with gravity force. In the unstable scenario, where the denser fluid lies above the lighter…

We study the forced fluid invasion of an air-filled model porous medium at constant flow rate, in 1+1 dimensions, both experimentally and theoretically. We focus on the non-local character of the interface dynamics, due to liquid…

Depinning of an interface from a random self--affine substrate with roughness exponent $\zeta_S$ is studied in systems with short--range interactions. In 2$D$ transfer matrix results show that for $\zeta_S<1/2$ depinning falls in the…

The dynamic scaling of curved interfaces presents features that are strikingly different from those of the planar ones. Spherical surfaces above one dimension are flat because the noise is irrelevant in such cases. Kinetic roughening is…
