We investigate the motion of closed, smooth non-self-intersecting curves that evolve in space R 3 . The geometric evolutionary equation for the evolution of the curve is accompanied by a parabolic equation for the scalar quantity evaluated over the evolving curve. We apply the direct Lagrangian approach to describe the geometric flow of 3D curves resulting in a system of degenerate parabolic equations. We prove the local existence and uniqueness of classical Hölder smooth solutions to the governing system of nonlinear parabolic equations. A numerical discretization scheme has been constructed using the method of flowing finite volumes. We present several numerical examples of the evolution of curves in 3D with a scalar quantity. In this paper, we analyze the flow of curves with no torsion evolving in rotating and parallel planes. Next, we present examples of the evolution of curves with initially knotted and unknotted curves.
