Abstract
We describe an explicit dynamical evolution of a coupled system of closed surfaces (membranes) and a liquid. The evolution of the system is characterized by preservation of the initial topological structure of the system of surfaces. We study the decay rate of a deformed surface, the deformation of a surface in shear flow and the modification of the viscosity due to a small density of closed surfaces present in the liquid.
