论文摘要
在许多科学和工程领域的新兴主题是材料,通常会急剧改变形状。确定其结构涉及解决形状优化问题,其中将给定能量功能相对于描述结构的域和辅助场的形状最小化。这些问题的解决方案非常具有挑战性,并且缺乏易于访问且通用的合适模拟工具。为了解决这一差距,我们介绍了Morpho,一种开源可编程环境,并通过向不同物质的不同领域展示三个应用 - 溶胀水凝胶,形成非球形液滴的复杂液体,向肥皂膜和膜 - 并在更广泛的用途上建议。
An emerging theme across many domains of science and engineering is materials that change shape, often dramatically. Determining their structure involves solving a shape optimization problem where a given energy functional is minimized with respect to the shape of the domain and auxiliary fields describing the structure. Such problems are very challenging to solve and there is a lack of suitable simulation tools that are both readily accessible and general purpose. To address this gap, we present Morpho, an open-source programmable environment, and demonstrate its versatility by showcasing three applications to different areas of soft matter - swelling hydrogels, complex fluids that form aspherical droplets, to soap films and membranes - and advise on broader uses.
