Rule of Thumb for Deposition
Beginning on Concave Slopes
Average steepness of
concave portion
Example:
Assume average slope of
concave section = 10%
½ of 10% is 5%
Deposition begins at location
where the steepness is 5%
Deposition begins at location
where steepness = ½ average
steepness of concave portion
