(color online) Simulated results of flow rate as a function of exit size. The squares and circles stand for the center and lateral exits, respectively. The open and solid symbols correspond to the channels with width W/d = 40.0 and 50.0. The solid and dashed lines are obtained by using Beverloo’s equation.
