The flowrate–frequency relationship. Within the examined range of frequencies and viscosities, an increase in compression frequency led to a linear increase in the net flowrate. The values shown in this graph were acquired using a 38-mm-long, 5-mm-wide compliant segment with wall thickness of a 0.5 mm. The pincher was located 2 mm from the junction. The corresponding Womersley numbers are listed in the Appendix.
