Schematic overview of the coupling procedure. Starting with a mechanical simulation, the last heart cycle deformation is used as a boundary condition for the subsequent fluid simulation. The processed pressure factor (PF) is used as an input in the next mechanical simulation, when it has reached a steady state. This procedure is repeated. The Euclidean distance (ED) is evaluated between the last cycle of two subsequent mechanical simulations.
