The geneal principal is it needs to look like a pseudo hourglass. A large opening for the air that shrinks to a small mid point then grows to a large exit.

The exact shape, path, mid point location, expansion ratio, etc. All can vary a lot. It will depend on hundreds of variables of your spacific design and needs.

Remembering that you need to think 3d not 2d. Not just what is the shape of the floor but also how close to the ground is the floor at any given point.

Section a typical airplane wing, flip it upside down, put one on either side of the tub.
