The simulation algorithm combines dynamic triangulation with Kawasaki exchange dynamics. The budding process exhibits three distinct time regimes: (i) formation and growth of intramembrane domains; (ii) formation of many buds; and (iii) coalescence of small buds into larger ones. The coalescence regime (iii) is characterized by scaling laws which describe the long-time behavior. Thus, the number of buds, N-bud, decays as N-bud similar to 1/t(theta) for large time t with theta = 1/2 and theta = 2/3 in the absence and the presence of hydrodynamic interactions, respectively.
