This article studies the use of moving, deforming elliptical Gaussian basis functions to compute the evolution of passive scalar quantities in a two-dimensional, incompressible flow field. We compute an evolution equation for the velocity, rotation, extension, and deformation of the computational elements as a function of flow quantities. We find that if one uses the physical flow velocity data calculated from the basis function centroid, the method has only second-order spatial accuracy. However, by computing the residual of the numerical method, we can determine adjustments to the centroid data so that the scheme will achieve fourth-order spatial accuracy. Simulations with nontrivial flow parameters demonstrate that the methods exhibit the properties predicted by theory.
