contents We perform numerical analysis of a nonlinear gradient flow, which can be regarded as a parabolic minimal surface problem or a regularised total variation flow, using the gradient discretisation method (GDM). GDM is a unified convergence analysis framework that covers conforming and nonconforming numerical methods, for instance, conforming and nonconforming finite element, two-point flux approximation, etc.. In this paper, a fully discretised implicit scheme of the model is proposed, the existence and uniqueness of the solution to the scheme is proved, the stability and consistency of the scheme are analysed, and error estimates are established. Numerical results based on the conforming and nonconforming $\mathbb{P}^1$ finite elements are also provided.
