Initial shape with nine regions (a) grows during a time interval Δt to a new shape (b). With a Lagrangian specification, the same material points are progressively followed, leading to a deformed grid (c). With an Eulerian specification, regions are redefined at each time step according to a fixed coordinate system (d), leading to further regions being added to a regular grid (e).
