We consider a semi-discrete finite element approximation for a system consisting of the evolution of a planar curve evolving by forced curve shortening flow inside a given bounded domain Ω⊂R^2, such that the curve meets the boundary ∂Ω orthogonally, and the forcing is a function of the solution of a reaction-diffusion equation that holds on the evolving curve. We prove optimal error bounds for the resulting approximation and present numerical experiments.
