mPIV measurements of pressure-driven flow


 

(a)

 

Figure 1. mPIV measurements for pressure-driven flow through an intersection of 120 (wide) by 50 (depth) micron deep channels (a).   (b) and (c) show comparisons of  mPIV (and particle tracking velocimetry) measurements with flow predictions.  Latter plots show streamwise velocity against transverse x-distance and streamwise velocity versus streamwise y-distance.
