Effective flow area vs physical flow area of an orifice plate

Have you ever noticed that when a flow goes through an orifice plate, the fluid stream converges downstream of the orifice hole? i.e. the effective flow area (downstream) is smaller than the physical flow area (upstream).

Question: How to calculate that effective flow area? (Gerald)
