Surface evolution<br />
Consider a mov<strong>in</strong>g surface φ(t) : M → R 3 parametrised by t, with<br />
metric gij = 〈∂iφ, ∂jφ〉.<br />
¯φt(p, t)<br />
p<br />
q<br />
¯φt(q, t)<br />
Here, ¯ φt is <strong>the</strong> displacement of <strong>the</strong> surface <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> normal direction.
