Bifurcations in valveless pumping techniques from a coupled fluid-structure-electrophysiology model in heart development

We explore an embryonic heart model that couples electrophysiology and muscle-force generation to flow induced using a $2D$ fluid-structure interaction framework based on the immersed boundary method. The propagation of action potentials are coupled to muscular contraction and hence the overall pump...
