Reduced-order model fits of the experimental pressure data for the saline and glycerin-based analog cases. Panels A through D show the fits of the experimental downstream pressure data for both saline and glycerin-based blood analog cases. These fits are obtained using the nonlinear optimization routine fmincon in MATLAB by comparing experimental values of downstream pressure to the computed downstream pressure from the reduced-order model with experimental values of downstream flow rate as inputs to the model. Panel E shows the experimental upstream pressure data for glycerin-based blood analog case. The fit is obtained by comparing experimental values of upstream pressure to the computed upstream pressure from the reduced-order model with experimental values of left atrial pressure and pump flow rate as inputs to the model.
