Flow leaders and deflectors

    Table of contents
    No headers

    Surfaces with thicknesses designed to direct the flow front either by attracting the flow with leaders or by deflecting the flow with deflectors.

    As indicated by the yellow arrow in the following diagram, flow leaders are thicker parts of the cavity, which attract the flow. As indicated by the red arrow in the following diagram, deflectors are thinner parts of the cavity which constrict the flow and slow it down.
