The velocity vector field of the growing rabbit ear cartilage has been investigated between 12 and 299 days. Empirical curves have been computed for path lines and for velocities between 12 and 87 days. The tissue movement has been found to behave as an irrotational flow of material. Stream lines and velocity equipotential lines have been calculated and provide akinematic description of the changes during growth. The importance of a knowledge of the velocity vector in physical descriptions of growth and morphological differentiation at the tissue and cellular levels is emphasized.
在12至299天期间，对生长中的兔耳软骨的速度矢量场进行了研究。已计算出12至87天之间的迹线和速度的经验曲线。已发现组织运动表现为物质的无旋流动。已计算出流线和速度等势线，并提供了生长过程中变化的运动学描述。强调了在组织和细胞水平上生长和形态分化的物理描述中了解速度矢量的重要性。
