Two computation methods were used in order to obtain the following external pressure signals depending on the variables used in the algorithms. When the output flow is available the external pressure is deduced from it. When it is not available it is deduced from the input variables. The accurate nonlinear model Ýallows to calcul the external pressure by using each methods.

… External pressure computed by the time derivative of the output flow u_s(t) :
