Phase-field description for the budding of two-component vesicles — •Roger Folch and Uwe Thiele — Max-Planck-Institut für Physik komplexer Systeme, Nöthnitzer Str. 38, D-01187 Dresden, Germany

We present a diffuse-interface or phase-field model[1] for the dynamics of the budding process of a vesicle induced by phase separation on its membrane. Possible two-dimensional budding mechanisms are explored in addition to known three-dimensional scenarios [2]. The model extends previous developments to simulate two-fluid flow[3] and the dynamics of a vesicle under flow[4] to include the internal dynamics of the membrane (phase-separation) and thus account for its non-static mechanical properties.
