Physical model of serum supplemented medium flow in organ-on-a-chip systems
Fig 5
Velocity profiles obtained via PIV (dots) and COMSOL (solid lines) for 3 different fluids: water at room temperature T =20∘C (blue, n = 1), DMEM + 10% FBS at T =37∘C (red, n = 0.5), DMEM + 10% FBS at room temperature T =20∘C (green, n = 0.32), all at flow rate .
The profiles are compared in the middle of the channel (a), 1/3 of the channel width (b), and 1/6 of the channel width (c). Shaded regions are 10% error margins for COMSOL. n is the flow index in the power law equation (5).
