Fig. 5.

Multicomponent vesicle evolution with a 80–20 mixture of lipid phases: ū = 0.8 with ∊ = 0.1 and Pe = 1. (a) The evolution of the total energy E^M. Insets: vesicle morphologies and surface phase concentration u at indicated times (color online: blue and red correspond to the u = 0 and u = 1 phases, respectively). (b) The energy components: the line energy E^T and the bending energy E^b. (c) The normal velocity.
