Rate of Entropy Production in Evolving Interfaces and Membranes under Astigmatic Kinematics: Shape Evolution in Geometric-Dissipation Landscapes

This paper presents theory and simulation of viscous dissipation in evolving interfaces and membranes under kinematic conditions, known as astigmatic flow, ubiquitous during growth processes in nature. The essential aim is to characterize and explain the underlying connections between curvedness and...
