Results for size-dependent focusing behaviors in Newtonian (PBS, high AR) and shear thinning viscoelastic (0.2 w/v% PEO, low AR) liquid, excluding rare occurrences. (a) and (b) Results for lateral position as a function of the blockage ratio in (a) Newtonian liquid at ∼19 cm/s (Re = 10) and ∼89 cm/s (Re = 46) and (b) viscoelastic liquid at 14, 20, 32, and 47 cm/s (Re = 2.5, 4, 6, and 9). (c) Results for the cell speed deviation as a function of the blockage ratio for Newtonian and shear-thinning viscoelastic liquid. The color scheme follows the legend in (a) and (b). (d) Results for the magnitude of the slope, the mean absolute error (MAE), and the magnitude of the slope to MAE ratio (STM) for Newtonian and shear-thinning viscoelastic liquid. The slope is defined as positive for larger cells to be focused closer to the channel center.
