Radius progression |
Radius distribution (φ-r) |
Area progression |
Area distribution (φ-A) |
Area-radius-ratio |
Area/Gravity center radius (rC) distribution (φ-A/rc) |
Contour angle progression |
Angle between the outer spiral contour and the circumferential direction (φ-α). Note, that due to the differential characteristic of the contour angle, the continuity of this distribution is decreased by one. |
