Computing the backward time flow map, Φ t 0<br />
t0 +T<br />
The Eulerian Treatment [Leung, 2011]: A natural way to evolve the backward time<br />
flow map in forward time. Treat each component <strong>of</strong> backward time flow map as an<br />
Eulerian scalar field on the fixed grid.<br />

Solve three level-set equations using a simple, semi-Lagrangian<br />
scheme [Staniforth and Côté, 1991]<br />
At time t = t 0 , set<br />
Φ t0<br />
t0+T = x cv everywhere<br />
Evolve each<br />
scalar up to<br />
t = t 0 + T by<br />
solving level set<br />
equation.<br />
At time t = t 0 + T , Φ t0<br />
t0+T<br />
is the backward time T<br />
flow map.<br />
