Abstract: Co-authors: Sebastian Reuther (TU Dresden), Sebastian Aland (HTW Dresden), Ingo Nitschke (TU Dresden), Simon Praetorius (TU Dresden), Michael Nestler (TU Dresden)

We consider continuum models for positional and orientational order on curved surfaces. They include surface phase field crystal models in the first case [4,6] and surface Navier-Stokes [2,3,5], surface Frank-Oseen [1] and surface Landau-deGenne models for the second case. We demonstrate the emergence of topological defects in these models and show the strong interplay between topology, geometry, dynamics and defect type and position. We comment on the derivation of these models and their numerical solution. To couple these surface models with an evolution equation for the shape of the surface is work in progress and leads to defect mediated morphologies [6].
