Abstract: Fluid deformable surfaces show a solid-fluid duality which establishes a tight interplay between tangential flow and surface deformation. We derive the governing equations as a thin film limit and provide a general numerical approach for their solution. The simulation results demonstrate the rich dynamics resulting from this interplay, where in the presence of curvature any shape change is accompanied by a tangential flow and, vice versa, the surface deforms due to tangential flow. However, they also show that the only possible stable stationary state in the considered setting is a sphere with zero velocity.
