Description: We obtained the energy transport velocity distribution for a three dimensional ideal cloak
explicitly. Near the operation frequency, the energy transport velocity has rather peculiar
distribution. The velocity along a line joining the origin of the cloak is a constant, while
the velocity approaches zero at the inner boundary of the cloak. A ray pointing right into
the origin of the cloak will experience abrupt changes of velocities when it impinges on the
inner surface of the cloak. This peculiar distribution causes long time delays for beams
passing through the ideal cloak within a geometric optics description.
