Choose one option.
With \(v_t(x)=x\), the equation becomes \(\dot{\varphi}_t(x)=\varphi_t(x)\), whose solution with \(\varphi_0=\operatorname{id}\) is \(\varphi_t(x)=e^t x\). At \(t=1\) this gives \(e\,x\).
The time derivative \(\dot{\varphi}_t\) describes how a deformation changes as the time parameter \(t\) varies.
