Extract

In a recent paper, Gibbings has made an interesting comparison of the length of two-dimensional contractions based on three criteria, namely:

  1. (1) the rapidity with which the boundary slope approaches its zero value;

  2. (2) the rapidity with which the centre-line velocity approaches its asymptotic value; and

  3. (3) the degree of uniformity of the velocity expressed as a percentage of its mean value.
