InstantaneousInterface

Generating Averaged Interface

Using the method of obtaining instantaneous liquid interface from ref[1] to obtain instantaneous and average liquid interfaces. Shown below is a snapshot of an average water/oil interface where we can clearly that the interface (in blue) on average separates the liquid and the oil (not shown). It does not look perfect because the molecular picture shown is for a particular frame while the interface is averaged over many frames. WI

Surface smoothing

Using this code, you can also smooth very rugged surfaces. Especially surfaces straight from marching cubes

Unsmoothed Smoothed
unsmooth smooth

Surface evolution based on defined curvature

Using this code, we can start with some predefined surface and boundary condition and evolve to whatever curvature user defines

k=0 k=0.12 nm-1
flat evolved
