Figure 5
The flowrate–viscosity relationship. For the exception of 2.5 Hz, at all tested compression frequencies, increase in viscosity led to a linear decrease in net flowrates. The values shown were acquired using 38-mm-long, 5-mm-wide compliant segment with a wall thickness of 0.5 mm. The pincher was located 2 mm from the junction. The corresponding Womersley numbers are listed in the Appendix.
