A. Electrical circuit analogy used for the numerical simulation. The different passive pumping ports can be modeled as capacitors. B. Flow rate vs. time in the each branches of the Y channel. Port pressures begin at different values, resulting in imbalanced flow rates. Within 15 ms port pressures equilibrate, leading to synchronization of the flows in both branches of the “Y”.
