The state Inline graphic denotes the open-close states of the two capillary groups, where Inline graphic Inline graphic when the Inline graphic-th capillary group is open and Inline graphic when it is closed. Inline graphic and Inline graphic are the wall shear stresses of the two capillary groups at state Inline graphic, respectively.
