Bol Scope, Aims, and Audiences This book, Level Set Methods and Dynamic Implicit Surfaces is designed to serve two purposes: Parts I and II introduce the reader to implicit surfaces and level set methods. These ?rst eight chapters include enough detailed information to allow students to create working level set codes from scratch. This book is an introduction to level set methods and dynamic implicit surfaces. These are powerful techniques for analyzing and computing moving fronts in a variety of different settings. While the book gives many examples of the usefulness of the methods for a diverse set of applications, it also gives complete numerical analysis and recipes, which will enable users to quickly apply the techniques to real problems. The book begins with the description of implicit surfaces and their basic properties, and then devises the level set geometry and calculus toolbox, including the construction of signed distance functions. Part II adds dynamics to this static calculus. Topics include the level set equation itself, Hamilton-Jacobi equations, motion of a surface normal to itself, reinitialization to a signed distance function, extrapolation in the normal direction, the particle level set method, and the motion of codimension two (and higher) objects. Part III is concerned with topics taken from the field of image processing and computer vision. These include the restoration of images degraded by noise and blur, image segmentation with active contours (snakes), and reconstruction of surfaces from unorganized data points. Part IV is dedicated to computational physics. It begins with one-phase compressible fluid dynamics, then two-phase compressible flow involving possibly different equations of state, detonation and deflagration waves, and solid/fluid structure interaction. Next it discusses incompressible fluid dynamics, including a computer graphics simulation of smoke; free surface flows, including a computer graphics simulation of water; and fully two-phase incompressible flow. Additional related topics include incompressible flames with applications to computer graphics and coupling a compressible and incompressible fluid. Finally, heat flow and Stefan problems are discussed. A student or researcher working in mathematics, computer graphics, science,or engineering interested in any dynamic moving front, which might change it's topology or develop singularities, will find this book interesting and useful. The goal of this book is to promote the use of level set methods by the many scientists and engineers working on moving interface problems. The authors provide some motivational/intuitive background on the scope and variety of moving interface problems and their mathematical formulation. They also review the pros and cons of traditional numerical techniques. The bulk of the book addresses the foundation of essential mathematical and numerical methods necessary for applying the level set method, with particular emphasis on problems in which the interface is just one part of a more complicated physical system. The book concludes with a few select example applications drawn from the authors' research. The book is intended for students and researchers interested in computation in the physical sciences, i.e.engineers, computational fluid dynamicists and applied mathematicians who want to use these methods for their own computations. It is suitable for use in a graduate level course on numerical methods, as a users guide to applying the methods, and as a general reference for mathematics related to level sets and the numerical solution of equations of ''Hamiltonian-Jacobi'' type.
