We investigated the moving law of the scroll wave filament by perturbation arguments,and obtained that, when the normal direction of scroll wave front curve surface is similar to that of its filament, the normal speed (noted by α ) of the filament is relative not only to the curvature (k) of the filament, but also to that k1 of scroll wave front curve surface,i.e., a = εD(k -k1) (where D is diffusional coefficient), and irrelative to the characteristic speed of excitable media. Besides, we also investigated the moving law of the filament along the axis direction, and obtained the similar result to that of Keener's (J.P. Keener, Physica D31 (1988) 269).
