(A) Plot of minimum transmural pressure Pt,min versus number of vessel layers N per drainage channel. (B) Plot of minimum transmural pressure found in a given vessel layer (i.e, from the 1st to Nth layer) for models of N = 1–12. All models had D = 100 μm, h = 500 μm, L = 1 cm, Pin − Pout = 10 cm H2O, and Pout − Pdr = 20 cm H2O. In (A), K = 10−12, 10−11, 10−10, 10−9, or 10−8 cm4/dyn·s, and LP = 10−11, 10−10, or 10−9 cm3/dyn·s. In (B), LP/K = 1 cm−1, and the red symbols reproduce data from (A).
