Extrapolating the leading weak-settling attenuation of a sloping gravity current to zero flux gives xmax​−x0​=(h0​/E)[exp(3β∗​EBo1/3​/vs​)−1]. Since speed tends to zero there, the weak-settling assumption fails in the terminal region; this is a formal leading-model estimate, not a uniformly accurate full-flow runout.
