3D Terminal Velocity Manifold for a Flat Plate

3D Model

The terminal velocity manifold in extended phase space for a falling flat plate from [1]. The blue points along the manifold represent stable equilibrium points while the black point at the center represents a center equilibrium point. Blue and red values along the manifold show the magnitude of acceleration.
