Fig. 3

Maximum velocity (a) and maximum shear rate (b) vs. temperature as a function of positioner control voltage. This shows the magnitude of stirring expected in Au samples as a function of temperature and positioner voltage. Curves terminate where the model becomes invalid due to the onset of turbulent flow, and the shaded area represents the valid region.
