Well, to follow your obscure parlance...
There are also:
  1. Starts slowly and then slows down
  2. Accelerates slowly and then accelerates quickly
  3. Maintains a steady rate of expansion
  4. Maintains a steady rate of expansion and then slows down
  5. Maintains a steady rate of expansion and then stops
  6. Accelerates, slows down and then accelerates again
  7. Starts quickly and then accelerates
  8. etc.
So, it doesn't look like your initial premise holds up.

I did not claim anything regarding regarding this:

I'm sure you know that as the air approaches the nozzle it's in its most expanded state. Are you going to tell me that's not Inward?
I did not say that air doesn't travel in to the nozzle.

Before I go down this new rabbit hole - are you retracting your claim that:
Paul Lamont writes:

You are now abandoning your original claim and are now saying:
Paul Lamont writes:

Correct?
Please confirm that you no longer believe that "There are two kinds of expansion, the first kind (1) Accelerates and then slows down, and the second kind (2) which starts slowly and then accelerates."

Well, it would help if you didn't keep changing your claims.

What slows down? Their speed.
How did they get that speed? From accelerating.
So, your own definition says that outward expansions all accelerate, slow down and then stop.
Peter Lamont writes:
The only kind of expansion that accelerates is Inward.
...and also outward expansions.
If you don't believe me, ask Peter Lamont.

Re: Context
Peter Lamont writes:
Outward expansions generally start from an initial kick, and once the initial kick is over, they tend to slow down and stop.
An "initial kick"?
What do you think the "initial kick" does?
It accelerates the outward expansion.
Your claim that outward expansions do not accelerate is contradicted by your own statement.

Panda, Outward expansions all slow down and stop. The only kind of expansion that accelerates is Inward (they all do.) Too bad you can't see this.

If the expansion is accelerating, it's Inward. Outward expansions all slow down and stop. Only Inward expansions accelerate.

Re: Context

Panda, I repeat, explosions (Big-Bang) start by accelerating. That's the initial kick.
Yes - it is an accelerating outward expansion.
No need to repeat it.
I agree - it is an accelerating outward expansion.
Peter Lamont writes:
How long does an explosion last - half a second?
Even if the outward expansion accelerates for just 1 second, it is still an accelerating outward expansion.
This clearly conflicts with your other claim that "Any 'accerlerating expansion' is Inward."
Peter Lamont writes:
Let me know what you think. As for those statements I made, I stand by them.
I've told you what I think: I think your statements are contradictory.
"explosions (Big-Bang) start by accelerating." contradicts "The only kind of expansion that accelerates is Inward."
I don't know how to make it any clearer.

Yes - it is an accelerating outward expansion.
It is an outward expansion, yes?
And it is accelerating, yes?
Therefore....it is an....accelerating outward expansion, yes?
The outward expansion is accelerating, yes?
Peter Lamont writes:
The only kind of expansion that accelerates and keeps accelerating is Inward.
But if you listen to what Peter Lamont and I have been saying: "Outward Expansions ... they start by accelerating." you will see that both inward AND outward expansions accelerate.
Is that clear enough for you?

Re: Context
Peter Lamont writes:
Clear Panda, totally clear.
So - finally you agree that both inward AND outward expansions accelerate.
Great.
Expansion (outward expansion) goes through the following stages:
1) Zero velocity
2) Acceleration
3) Deceleration
4) Zero velocity
Then contraction (inward expansion) goes through the following stages:
1) Zero velocity
2) Acceleration
3) Deceleration
4) Zero velocity
Ok - let's look at your new claim:
Peter Lamont writes:
The only kind of expansion that continues is Inward.
What do you mean by 'continues'?
Are you saying that inward expansions never slow down and stop?

Re: Context
Peter Lamont writes:
How can it be a contraction with everything moving away from everything else?
One issue at a time.
I'll come back to that.
Peter Lamont writes:
An Inward expansion continues to accelerate to a terminal velocity, and then it stops. Where is the decceleration?
It is in between 'terminal velocity' and 'stop'.
You can't go from 'moving' to 'stop' without decelerating.
Peter Lamont writes:
Do you deccelerate when you fall into a black hole? That's ridiculous - you just go straight in at terminal velocity.
If you didn't slow down and stop then you would shoot past the centre of the black hole and head off back out in to space.
So, unless you have an alternative way to reduce the speed from the terminal velocity to rest, then contractions (inward expansion) decelerate.

Re: Context
Peter Lamont writes:
Panda, if the black hole is spinning, and its spin matches your terminal velocity, you're not going to slow down ever!
Expansion/Contraction is not affected by spin.
If you inflate a balloon while it is spinning, it still expands (outward expansion) at the same speed as when it is not spinning.
If you deflate a balloon while it is spinning, is still contracts (inward expansion) at the same speed as when it is not spinning.
Expansion is measured by the change in distance between the expansion 'surface' and the centre of the expansion.
Even if an object at the centre of the expansion is rotating, that does not affect how far the surface of the expansion is from the centre.
Let's look at your own words again:
Peter Lamont writes:
An Inward expansion continues to accelerate to a terminal velocity, and then it stops.
So....how does it stop without decelerating?
I am not putting words in to your mouth - this is what you said and I am simply trying to get you to understand what you have said.
You say that the expansion stops.
How can it stop without decelerating?
So - to try and put it as simply as possible:
How does something stop without slowing down?
Peter Lamont writes:
So let's keep this discussion at a scientific level, without your 'splitting hairs'. Can we?
If you don't want people pointing out your mistakes, then perhaps posting them on a discussion forum is not the best idea?
