Abstract
In this paper, we consider a kind of area-preserving flow for closed convex planar curves which will decrease the length of the evolving curve and make the evolving curve more and more circular during the evolution process. And the final shape of the evolving curve will be a circle as time \(t\rightarrow +\infty \).
