| contents | We address surface gradient flows which allow for energy dissipation by evolving the surface and a scalar quantity on it, simultaneously. A proper choice of the time derivative and the gauge of surface independence guarantees energy dissipation and ensures conservation of the scalar quantity. The resulting system of partial differential equations couples geometric evolution equations for the evolution of the surface in normal directions, equations for tangential movement and scalar-valued equations on the evolving surface. We discuss the general setting and the special case of surface tension flows and numerically demonstrate the importance of tangential movement on the evolution. |
