The numerical simulation of the membrane deformation. (a) The pressure distribution within the channel and the deformation of the large membrane (3 mm diameter) under the flow rate of 100 µl/min. The flow rate of 100 µl/min produced a flow pressure of 6 KPa over the membrane, resulted in a maximum deflection of 260 µm. (b) The numerical simulation of the membrane deformation (diameter: 3 mm, thickness: 100 µm) in response to different flow rates in the range of 10–300 µl/min.
