Streamwise velocity profile of flow in the parallel-plate flow chamber determined using micro-PIV and CFD. Streamwise velocity characterization (A) along the center and (B) in proximity of the side walls. (C) Shear stress distribution along the channel span at z/h = 0, 1. (B) A peak at coordinates (x, y) = (250 μ m, 650 μ m) and (C) a trough at coordinates (x, y) = (300 μ m, 350 μ m).
