Hi everybody,

I'm looking for applications of geometric evolution equations such as the Ricci flow and the extrinsic flows by Gauss and mean curvature. Applications other than topological applications such as geometrization are what I'm looking for and, even better if the application is to a non-mathematical area, such as Mullins' derivation of mean curvature flow as a model for the motion of `grain boundaries'.

Thanks,

ML
