Abstract
The parameter changes resulting from a combination of Lorentz transformations are shown to form vector field flows. The exact, finite Thomas rotation angle is determined and interpreted intuitively. Using phase portraits, the parameters evolution can be clearly visualized. In addition to identifying the fixed points, we obtain an analytic invariant which correlates the evolution of parameters.
