Figure E4.

Analysis of experimental and computational pressure and volumetric flow rates. Experimental measurements show variations over 10 consecutive cycles, with shaded regions showing where 95% of the data fall. For each available valve diameter, the computer model matches the experimental operating conditions, which are different for each valve. We compare simulated (A through C) pressure waveforms and (D through F) flow rates to the experimental data. The simulated pressure and flow rates are in excellent agreement with the experimental data.
