Model validation in Wave Membrane Blood Pumps

Summary

This benchmark provides a test case for model validation in Wave Membrane Blood Pumps (WMBPs), developed at CorWave SA.

Description

The aim of this benchmark consists in running Fluid-Structure Interaction (FSI) simulations using the proposed Extended Finite Element Method (XFEM) and compare the predicted hydraulic output of WMBPs against real experimental flow-pressure data, said HQ curve.

Run Jupyter notebooks

The entire benchmark repository can be executed in a provided Docker container where a full installation of LIFEV is available. Once you have clone or downloaded this repository, to get the container just type

docker pull martin592/validation-wmbp:latest . 

and for running it locally:

docker run -it --rm martin592/validation-wmbp:latest

Alternatively, user-friendly Jupyter Notebooks could be used to run different benchmarks on the cloud (or locally). For instance, the post-processing related to this benchmark is available at: . Please, notice that mybinder cloud computations are limited to 2GB of RAM memory and this on-cloud service cannot support the LIFEV benchmark simulations.
