R22 rotor decay below 50 kts

It seems to me that there are a lot of knowledgeable people here that can help with a question that I have been struggling with. Working towards my CFI and I have a question about why NR decay of the R22 decreases below 50kts. It makes no sense to me since at lower airspeeds you would have more air moving up through the blades since your descent would be greater. What's the reason for this? Thanks Scientific equation? To clarify for some people that are complete jerks I'll rephrase the question. They make a book that would be great for reading it's called the fundamentals of instruction that describe things never to do to a student (it might be worth reading for some). Why does nr decay occur in zero airspeed autos. When I say zero airspeed I'm referring to a high decent rate and no forward airspeed. Thanks again
