On a minimizing movement scheme for mean curvature flow with prescribed contact angle in a curved domain and its computation

Abstract

We introduce a capillary Chambolle type scheme for mean curvature flow with prescribed contact angle. Our scheme includes a capillary functional instead of just the total variation. We show that the scheme is well-defined and has consistency with the energy minimizing scheme of Almgren-Taylor-Wang type. Moreover, for a planar motion in a strip, we give several examples of numerical computation of this scheme based on the split Bregman method instead of a duality method.
