Minimal Surface — Plateau

Surface type: Catenoid (H=0 everywhere) Helicoid Enneper Surface Scherk's First Surface Resolution: 40 Rotate speed: 1.0 Parameter: 1.0 Color mode: Mean curvature (≈0) Gaussian curvature Height Auto-rotate: ON

Minimal surfaces have zero mean curvature H=0 everywhere. They locally minimize area for given boundary (Plateau's problem). Solved via harmonic maps and Weierstrass–Enneper representation.
