Flow system. Closed flow system. Water at room temperature flowed at 3.8 ml/min (~13 mm/s) through the silicone tubing from the elevated container to the surface container. The silicone tubing was fed through the MRI coil which was located inside the 9.4 T magnet. The SMP foam device was inserted into the tubing via a Touhy Borst valve and positioned inside the MRI coil. Water flow inside the MRI coil is in the z-direction.
