Comparison of the straight rate distribution near the penetration front at the middle location of curved segments between WAIM and W-PAIM: (a) straight rate magnitude contour of WAIM, (b) straight rate magnitude contour of W-PAIM, (c) velocity profiles at position IV, (d) straight rate profiles at position V, and (e) straight rate profiles at position VI (IV, V, and VI denote the beginning, middle, and end of the curved segments, respectively. Negative radial positions are near the outer convex side of curved segments, while the positive radial positions are near the inner concave side).
