A flow pattern on glaciers in which the velocity decreases with distance downstream; thus the longitudinal strain rate(velocity gradient) is compressive. This condition requires a transverse or vertical expansion, or a negative net balance on the surface, because ice is almost incompressible. 1, record 3, English, - compressing%20flow

Hodograph method : a method used essentially for the study of two-dimensional steady movements of a perfect fluid in which, instead of the coordinates(x, y) of the physical plane, the independent variables taken are the components mu and v of the velocity q with reference to these axes.... The method is applied to determinations of incompressible flow or of compressible flow. 3, record 5, English, - hodograph
