FIG. 7. Passive advection and propagation: F(K) = 1 + Rotation: (a) T=O.O, 0.03 (0.01);<br />

(b) T=O.O3, 0.06 (0.01); (c) I-=0.06, 0.09 (0.01); (d) I-=0.09, 0.12 (0.01).<br />

This corresponds to solid body counterclockwise rotation around the origin wi<br />

tangential velocity 1 along the circle <strong>with</strong> radius 0.1 centered at the origin. The si<br />

of the numerical parameters and scheme order are the same as in Example<br />

Fig. 7, we show the expanding and spinning star at various times.<br />

V. MOVING SURFACES<br />

In this section, we use PSC algorithms to compute the evolution of several two-<br />

dimensional surfaces in three space dimensions. We use the initializing function<br />

given in Section 1II.D and the first-order Hamilton-Jacobi scheme given in<br />

Eq. (3.11).<br />

A. <strong>Propagating</strong> Function Surfaces, F(K) = 1, F(K) = I- EK, F(K) = K<br />

We evolve the initial surface<br />

q/(x, y, 0) = -0.25[cos(2nx)- 1 J[cos(27q) - l] -f- 1
