Figure Legend:
Schematic of the experimental setup. The roll angle, ϕ, and pitch angle, γ describe the orientation of the bifurcation plates with respect to gravity. The branch angle of the daughter tube with respect to the parent tube is indicated by θ. 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 indicate 6 IR sensors for the parent and two daughter tubes.

Figure Legend:
Schematic of plug flow in the bifurcation plates. a1, a2, and a3 are the radius of the parent, upper, and lower daughter tube, respectively. P1 is the pressure of the pumped air. P2 and P3 are atmospheric pressure. L1, L2, and L3 are the plug lengths in the parent, upper, and lower daughter tube, respectively. π1, π0, π2, and π3 are the pressures in the liquid plug at the rear interface, bifurcation zone, front meniscus of the upper daughter, and front meniscus of the lower daughter, respectively. Up, U2, and U3 are the plug velocities of the rear meniscus in the parent tube and front menisci in the upper daughter and lower daughter tubes.
