Tldr We propose a parametric finite element method for the constrained Helfrich flow of closed curves and surfaces that preserves geometric quantities exactly. Our two-stage velocity-splitting strategy achieves energy decay, exact volume and surface area conservation, and good mesh quality simultaneously.
