| Abstract: | In this talk I will discuss recent advances in the numerical analysis of front-tracking methods for two moving interface problems. In the first part of the talk I will concentrate on a parametric finite element approximation of two-phase flow. Here two fluids evolve in a domain, separated by an interface. Stress balance conditions on the interface lead to surface tension terms involving curvature. We employ a variational approximation of curvature that originates from the numerical
approximation of geometric evolution equations, such as mean curvature flow. The arsising finite element approximation of two-phase flow can be shown to be unconditionally stable. In the second part of the talk, building on the concepts introduced in the first part, I will present a numerical method for the approximation of dynamic biomembranes. Once again two phases of fluid are separated by an interface, but here the interface is endowed with an elastic curvature energy. This models the properties of the lipid bilayer structure of the biomembrane's cell walls. Combining ideas on the numerical approximation of Willmore flow, two-phase flow and surface PDEs on an evolving manifold we are able to introduce a stable parametric finite element method for the evolution of biomembranes.
