Level set methods: An overview and some recent results (Q5944030)

The basic goal of the paper is to compare and analyze the subsequent motion of \(\Gamma\) under a velocity field \(v\) (depending on \(\Gamma\)). The paper contains the key definitions and basic level set technology, as well as a few words about the numerical implementation. Moreover, recent variants, extensions and a rather interesting selection of related fast numerical methods are given. Applications of the moving interfaces in compressible, incompressible flows, Stefano problems, kinetic crystal growth, epitaxial growth of thin fibers, vertex-dominated flows, and extensions to multiphase motion are presented.
