Title: Dynamic Skin Triangulation

Abstract:
Moving boundary problems occur in many physical simulation and modeling problems, such as protein folding and mold filling. In this talk I present a type of deformable surface and an algorithm maintaining its triangulation during the deformation. The triangulation adapts dynamically to changing shape, curvature, and topology of the surface.
