Comparison of the velocity distribution near the penetration front at the middle location of curved segments between WAIM and W-PAIM: (a) velocity magnitude contour of WAIM, (b) velocity magnitude contour of W-PAIM, (c) velocity profiles at position IV, (d) velocity profiles at position V, and (e) velocity 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).
