Abstract: The paper studies a curvature flow linked to the physical phenomenon of wound closure. Under the flow we show that a closed, initially convex or close-to-convex curve shrinks to a round point in finite time. We also study the singularity, showing that the singularity profile after continuous rescaling is that of a circle. We additionally give a maximal time estimate, with an application to the classification of blowups.
