The goal of this work is the development and numerical implementation of a mathematical
model describing the functioning of heart valves. To couple the pulsatile blood flow with a …

SUMMARY A procedure for modeling the heart valves is presented. Instead of modeling
complete leaflet motion, leaflets are modeled in open and closed configurations. The …

In this paper, we propose a full computational framework to simulate the hemodynamics in
the aorta including the valve. Closed and open valve surfaces, as well as the lumen aorta …

This thesis, taking place in the context of the Mivana project, is devoted to the modeling and
to the numerical simulation of implantable cardiovascular devices. This project is led by the …

We present a finite element methodology tailored for the simulation of pulsatile flow in the
full aorta and sinus of Valsalva interacting with highly deformable thin leaflets. We describe …

Cardiac valves simulation is one of the most complex tasks in cardiovascular modeling.
Fluid–structure interaction is not only highly computationally demanding but also requires …

The study of hemodynamics in the ascending aorta through computational fluid dynamics
simulations is a subject of large interest in medical research for its application in the study of …

The last few decades have seen great advances in the understanding of heart valves, and
consequently, in the development of novel treatment modalities and surgical procedures for …

A numerical model of the coupled motion of a flexing surface in a high Reynolds number
flow is presented for the simulation of flexible polyurethane heart valves in the aortic …

The immersed boundary (IB) method is a mathematical and numerical framework for
problems of fluid–structure interaction, treating the particular case in which an elastic …
