Examples of decelerate

decelerate
Along this streamline the flow is continuously decelerated, which goes along with a substantial increase in static pressure.
If it is negative, the line is concave (decelerating).
If the magnetic pressure is over-balanced by the kinetic pressure, the plasma sheet is decelerated and the minimum plasma radius is achieved.
The bunched electrons are decelerated downwards in opposite direction to circulation so that they give energy secularly to the rf electric field.

Other s will be decelerated, possibly spiraling back into the sheath.
The unsteadiness of the decelerating leading shock wave is found to be the dominant mechanism causing failure in direct initiation.
At the rear face of the crest, the velocity is decelerating, but inertial effects prevent the flow from decelerating completely enough.
They are decelerated and slowed in the atmosphere.
The core continues to expand, decelerating slowly in the presence of a negative pressure gradient.
After their reentry these par ticles are decelerated by the ion background and ultimately reflected back into the vacuum region.
Thus, open motion begins gently, accelerating upwards in pitch direction and then decelerating downwards.
