contents We investigate a new phase field model for representing non-oriented interfaces, approximating their area and simulating their area-minimizing flow. Our contribution is related to the approach proposed in arXiv:2105.09627 that involves ad hoc neural networks. We show here that, instead of neural networks, similar results can be obtained using a more standard variational approach that combines a Cahn-Hilliard-type functional involving an appropriate non-smooth potential and a Willmore-type stabilization energy. We give a $Γ$-convergence analysis of this phase field model in dimension $1$ and, for radially symmetric functions, in arbitrary dimension. We also propose a simple numerical scheme to approximate its $L^2$-gradient flow. We illustrate numerically that the new flow approximates fairly well the mean curvature flow of codimension $1$ or $2$ interfaces in dimensions $2$ and $3$.
