The dynamical mechanisms underlying the grain evolution and growth are of fundamental importance in controlling the structural properties of large-scale polycrystalline materials, but the effects of lattice ordering and distinct atomic…

For a class of partial differential algebraic equations (PDAEs) of quasi-linear type which include nonlinear terms of convection type a possibility to determine a time and spatial index is considered. As a typical example we investigate an…

We use PDE methods as developed for the Liouville equation to study the existence of conformal metrics with prescribed singularities on surfaces with boundary, the boundary condition being constant geodesic curvature. Our first result shows…

Grain boundary (GB) energy is a fundamental property that affects the form of grain boundary and plays an important role to unveil the behavior of polycrystalline materials. With a better understanding of grain boundary energy distribution…

We aim at deriving an equation of motion for specific sums of momentum mode occupation numbers from models for electrons in periodic lattices experiencing elastic scattering, electron-phonon scattering or electron-electron scattering. These…

Atomic-scale simulations are performed to study the effect of solute segregation on the shear-induced motion of select grain boundaries in the classical $\alpha$-Fe/C system. At shear rates larger than the solute diffusion rate, we observe…

We show that the mean curvature flow for a closed and rotationally symmetric surface can be formulated as an evolution problem consisting of an evolution equation for the square of the function whose graph is rotated and two ODEs describing…

Recent grain growth experiments have revealed that the same type of grain boundary can have very different mobilities depending on its local microstructure. In this work, we use molecular dynamics simulations to quantify uncertainty in the…

High energy x-ray diffraction microscopy was used to image the microstructure of $\alpha$-Fe before and after a 600 $^\circ$C anneal. These data were used to determine the areas, curvatures, energies, and velocities of approximately 40,000…

We use the numerical conformal bootstrap to study boundary quantum electrodynamics, the theory of a four dimensional photon in a half space coupled to charged conformal matter on the boundary. This system is believed to be a boundary…

The KWC system is a well-known generic framework for phase-field models of grain boundary motion, whose original formulation is given as a parabolic gradient flow of a free energy. In the original KWC system, the results of uniqueness have…

Grain boundary (GB) migration plays a crucial role in the thermal and mechanical responses of polycrystalline materials, particularly in ultrafine-grained and nano-grained materials exhibiting grain size-dependent properties. This study…

Optimal-order uniform-in-time $H^1$-norm error estimates are given for semi- and full discretizations of mean curvature flow of surfaces in arbitrarily high codimension. The proposed and studied numerical method is based on a parabolic…

We study the relationship between mixed stochastic differential equations and the corresponding rough path equations driven by standard Brownian motion and fractional Brownian motion with Hurst parameter $H>1/2$. We establish a correction…

In this paper we report and compare the numerical results for an ocean circulation model obtained by the classical truncated boundary formulation, the free boundary approach and a quasi-uniform grid treatment of the problem. We apply a…

We study the diffusion of Brownian particles on the surface of a sphere and compute the distribution of solid angles enclosed by the diffusing particles. This function describes the distribution of geometric phases in two state quantum…

This paper introduces novel bulk-surface splitting schemes of first and second order for the wave equation with kinetic and acoustic boundary conditions of semi-linear type. For kinetic boundary conditions, we propose a reinterpretation of…

A new phase field dislocation dynamics formulation is presented, which couples micromechanical solvers and the time-dependent Ginzburg-Landau equation. Grain boundary (GB)-dislocation interactions are studied by describing GBs as…

We consider the motion by mean curvature of an $n$-dimensional graph over a time-dependent domain in $\mathbb{R}^n$, intersecting $\mathbb{R}^n$ at a constant angle. In the general case, we prove local existence for the corresponding…

In this paper we apply a scaling invariance analysis to reduce a class of parabolic moving boundary problems to free boundary problems governed by ordinary differential equations. As well known free boundary problems are always non-linear…
