Modeling pulsatile flow in a heart

Anonymous
Not applicable

Hello, I am looking to model pulsatile flow of a very rudimentary heart in Autodesk CFD. We current have the atrium of the heart modeled as a box with two holes: one as an inlet (from the vena cava), and one as an outlet (to the right ventricle). I have assigned the outlet an exit volume flow rate of 3.8 L/min, but to my understanding this is a constant flow rate. How can I model the flow rate such that it varies with time in a pulsating manner to best simulate the heart beat? Thank you!
