The proposed project aims to investigate theoretical properties of thin films and fluid interfaces, which are modelled as surfaces driven by surface tension, possibly in an enclosing container. This project is expected to generate new knowledge in the area of geometric partial differential equations, by utilising new techniques in geometric flows, and by establishing novel methods for boundary value problems. The developed techniques may have far-reaching applications in other areas of mathematical analysis, and the expected results would contribute greatly to the theory of surfaces governed by mean curvature, which arise in various real-world phenomena such as soap bubbles, black hole horizons and bushfire fronts.

拟议的项目旨在研究薄膜和流体界面的理论特性，这些薄膜和流体界面被建模为由表面张力驱动的表面，可能在封闭的容器中。该项目预计将通过利用几何流新技术以及建立边值问题的新方法来产生几何偏微分方程领域的新知识。所开发的技术可能在数学分析的其他领域具有深远的应用，并且预期的结果将极大地促进由平均曲率控制的表面理论，这种理论出现在各种现实世界的现象中，例如肥皂泡、黑洞视界和丛林大火前线。
