The dynamics of a one-dimensional membrane confined between two walls is derived from an hydrodynamic model. The main ingredients of the evolution equation are the adhesion potential with the confining walls and the bending rigidity of the membrane. The resulting dynamics is frozen, with the membrane decomposing in adhesion patches on the two walls. If the system is strongly perturbed, a transition from frozen dynamics to coarsening may be observed. In collaboration with Thomas Le Goff and Olivier Pierre-Louis (CNRS-Lyon).

Abstract
The dynamics of a one-dimensional membrane confined between two walls is derived from an hydrodynamic model. The main ingredients of the evolution equation are the adhesion potential with the confining walls and the bending rigidity of the membrane. The resulting dynamics is frozen, with the membrane decomposing in adhesion patches on the two walls. If the system is strongly perturbed, a transition from frozen dynamics to coarsening may be observed.
