Fig. 3: Comparison of wall and holoelastic devices.
From: How channel elasticity enhances and directs flow in dendritic microfluidic networks
Transmission microscopy image showing the behavior of a the wall device and b the holoelastic device at \(\Delta p=400\,\mbox{mbar}\). Electric analog for hydrodynamic resistances for c the wall device and for d the holoelastic device. Color-filled resistors indicate a pressure-responsive hydrodynamic resistance. Indices \({SB}\) indicate the level and branch to which the hydrodynamic resistance refers. e Averaged velocity at the outlets for the wall and holoelastic devices as measured by PIV. f Increase of the velocity difference \(\Delta \bar{v}\) (left y-axis) and average of relative velocity \({\bar{v}}_{\rm{rel}}\) (right y-axis) between the wall and holoelastic devices. The first point for \({\bar{v}}_{\rm{rel}}\) (different color) is set to 1 by definition
