(color online) (a) Flow rate Q as a function of exit position with four exit sizes D/d = 6.0, 8.0, 10.0, and 12.0, respectively. The dashed lines stand for the average flow rates. (b) Relationship between the scaled flow rate and the scaled exit position. The solid line is fitted by using Eq. (5). The dashed line is a guide for the eye.
