We present a new numerical method for transporting arbitrary sets in a velocity field. The method computes a deformation mapping of the domain and advects particular sets by function composition with the map. This also allows for the transport of multiple sets at low computational cost. Our strategy is to separate the computation of short time advection from the storage and representation of long time deformation maps, employing appropriate grid resolution for each of these two parts. We show through numerical experiments that the resulting algorithm is accurate and exhibits significant reductions in computational time over other methods. Results are presented in two and three dimensions, and accuracy and efficiency are studied.
