Validation of the velocity field.
Comparison of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and Microparticle Image Velocimetry (μPIV) flow profiles at 0.4 l/min flow. (A) CFD (red circles) and μPIV (blue rhombus) profiles for the flat membrane configuration. (B–D) Corresponding profiles for the configuration with membrane inflated to 20% extension (i.e. 720 mbar) at the inlet (B), center (C), and outlet (D), respectively.
