Left Ventricle Geometry Pressure Drop Data from Tissue-Mimicking Phantoms

Pressure-drop data across axisymmetric swell and idealized left ventricle geometries. The dataset was generated by Megan Laughlin using tissue-mimicking phantoms, direct pressure measurements, blood speckle imaging, and 3D computational fluid dynamics simulations. The data was last updated on May 15, 2026.

Use Cases

• Compare pressure-drop measurements from direct sensors, 2D blood speckle imaging, and 3D CFD simulations.
• Investigate the impact of phantom design, such as gel thickness, on flow patterns and measurements.
• Benchmark computational fluid dynamics models with fluid-structure interaction against experimental data.
• Support the development of optimized blood speckle imaging settings for cardiac flow analysis.

Strengths

• Data is generated from a multi-method study combining experimental phantoms and 3D computational simulations.
• Dataset is openly available under a CC-BY-4.0 license.
• The study design includes both axisymmetric swell and idealized left ventricle geometries.

Limitations

• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• The dataset is very small at 5.5 KB, indicating limited scope and likely a small number of data points.
