A popular pump proxy model is given by the quadratic equation:

q = \frac{q_{\rm max}}{2 \cdot k_f} \cdot \left[ -1 + k_f +  \sqrt{ (1 + k_f)^2 - 4 \cdot k_f \cdot (p_{\rm out}- p_{\rm in})/\delta p_{\rm max}) \ } \, \right]

p_{\rm out} = p_{\rm in} +  \delta p_{\rm max} \cdot \left[ 1+ 
(k_f -1 ) \cdot \frac{q}{q_{\rm max}} - k_f \cdot \left( \frac{q}{q_{\rm max}} \right)^2
 \right ]
