DETAILS :

This next shows, on a plot of radius (vertical) versus time (horizontal) the contours of radial gas velocity consequent on the release of a sphere of compressed gas, created for example by a bomb.

The high outward velocities at the start (on the left) are followed by almost equally high inward velocities (the blue region)
