We study the dynamics of bilayer membrane using the Fourier space Brownian dynamical equation. The surface of the bilayer membrane is demonstrated directly by using three-dimensional figure. Our results demonstrate that the slipping between the up-monolayer and bottom-monolayer is a very important dynamical process in the membrane dynamics, which strongly affects the height-height correlation function.
