Direct approach to mean-curvature flow with topological changes
This contribution deals with the numerical simulation of dislocation dynamics. Dislocations are described by means of the evolution of a family of closed or open smooth curves , . The curves are driven by the normal velocity which is the function of curvature and the position. The evolution law reads as: . The motion law is treated using direct approach numerically solved by two schemes, i. e., backward Euler semi-implicit and semi-discrete method of lines. Numerical stability is improved...
