Abstract
A description of a device and method of use are provided for a containment chamber, accompanying sensing and monitoring instrumentation, and method of creation of a physical force wave that would be capable of mimicking physiologic waves such as pulse pressure, muscle contraction, peristalsis, acoustic waves and other desired waves to be studied. This device allows for the use of various biologic or biologically comparable fluids—alone or in combination—that would allow for the analysis of the passage of these waves through these media. Singularly, this device also allows for the manipulation of the external constraints that mimic the containment of that media in vivo. This allows for the analysis of the effects on the nature of the wave, its reflections, potential augmentation or dampening that occur in conjunction with various selected external and internal (baffle) constraints that mimic those found in nature or in therapeutic interventions.
