On the Length of Two-Dimensional Contractions
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 04 July 2016
Extract
In a recent paper, Gibbings has made an interesting comparison of the length of two-dimensional contractions based on three criteria, namely:
(1) the rapidity with which the boundary slope approaches its zero value;
(2) the rapidity with which the centre-line velocity approaches its asymptotic value; and
(3) the degree of uniformity of the velocity expressed as a percentage of its mean value.
