Abstract
In this paper, we introduce a new constrained mean curvature type flow for capillary boundary hypersurfaces in space forms. We show the flow exists for all time and converges globally to a spherical cap. Moreover, the flow preserves the volume of the bounded domain enclosed by the hypersurface and decreases the total energy. As a by-product, we give a flow proof of the capillary isoperimetric inequality for the starshaped capillary boundary hypersurfaces in space forms.
