We study the behavior of a variational solution to the Neumann type problem of the heat equation on a moving thin domain Ωε(t) that converges to an evolving surface Γ(t) as the width of Ωε(t) goes to zero. We show that, under suitable assumptions, the average in the normal direction of Γ(t) of a variational solution to the heat equation converges weakly in a function space on Γ(t) as the width of Ωε(t) goes to zero, and that the limit is a unique variational solution to a limit equation on Γ(t), which is a new type of linear diffusion equation involving the mean curvature and the normal velocity of Γ(t). We also estimate the difference between variational solutions to the heat equation on Ωε(t) and the limit equation on Γ(t).
