Spherical null expansion in ingoing coordinates (${\theta }_K=2K(r)/r$)

For a four-dimensional spherical metric $d{s}^2=-fd{v}^2+2dvdr+r^{2}d{\Omega }^2$, a radial null vector normal $K$ to a round sphere has null expansion ${\theta }_K=\frac{1}{2}{q}^{AB}{\mathcal{L}}_K{q}_{AB}=2K(r)/r$, where $q_{AB}=r^2{\gamma }_{AB}$. The angular metric changes only by a common scale, so radial congruences have zero null shear; hypersurface orthogonality also gives zero null twist. The convention here is the trace, not the screen-averaged expansion.
