Influence of inhibitor diffusion coefficient on convective washout. Computations done for human mid-jejunal anatomy as in Fig. 3 A of our original paper (Jin et al., 2013), for Jvo of 7 × 10−2 µL/cm2/s. Percentage inhibition of net secreted fluid compared as a function of Co/Kd for indicated values of inhibitor diffusion coefficient.
