A three-dimensional (3-D) pulsatile aortic flow in a human ascending aorta is studied to
investigate the effect of the aortic stiffness on the flow field and turbulent fluctuating velocities …

Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is characterized by disturbed blood flow patterns that are
hypothesized to contribute to disease progression. The transport topology in six patient …

We have performed high-resolution fluid–structure interaction simulations of physiologic
pulsatile flow through a bi-leaflet mechanical heart valve (BMHV) in an anatomically realistic …

Pathologies of the aortic valve such as aortic sclerosis are thought to impact coronary blood
flow. Recent clinical investigations have observed simultaneous structural and …

The analysis of quantitative hemodynamics provides information for the diagnosis and
treatment planning in patients with aortic coarctation (CoA). Patient-specific computational …

In a chamber of the heart, large-scale vortices are shown to exist as the result of the dynamic
blood flow and unique morphological changes of the chamber wall. As the cardiovascular …

In a study motivated by considerations associated with heart murmurs and cardiac
auscultation, numerical simulations are used to analyse the haemodynamics in a simple …

Unnatural dynamics of the notorious vortex in the left ventricle is often associated with
cardiac disease. Understanding how different cardiac diseases alter the flow physics in the …

Valvular heart disease has recently become an increasing public health concern due to the
high prevalence of valve degeneration in aging populations. For patients with severely …

Aortic stenosis caused by valve calcification is a major cause of death around the world.
Hemodynamic factors have been suggested to be major players in the development of valve …
