17. Any method of axial forcing is allowed (pressure-driven, electro-osmotic, etc.), provided it remains constant in the axial direction, the analysis is similar to the pressure-driven case.
18. Realistic duct flows may involve cell-wise z-dependent forcings. Reconciliation with the present duct flows is - at least qualitatively - possible via an appropriately chosen frame of reference.
19. Note that in cases where the axial flow is not strictly continuous across axial cell boundaries, the 2.5D approach will locally violate incompressibility at cell boundaries. However, this does not appear to pose a problem with getting predictions accurate against experiment. 3
