Figure 6 Flow convergence (FC) region is theoretically composed of perfect hemispheres (left); however, because of the finite nature of the regurgitant orifice, progressive flattening of the isovelocity shells occurs as they approach the orifice (20) (right), leading to an increased distance between the first two aliasing boundaries (IAD).
