Congenital heart disease (CHD) is often comprised of complex three-dimensional (3D)
anatomy that must be well understood to assess the pathophysiological consequences and …

Finite element analysis (FEA) and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) are generally
insufficient independently to model the physics of the cardiovascular system. Individually …

Two-phase liquid flow in micro-/mini-channels has several thermal advantages in
comparison with single-phase liquid flow, such as heat transfer rate, thermosiphon effect …

Aim To investigate atrial flow patterns in the normal adult heart, to explore whether caval
vein arrangement and patency of the foramen ovale (PFO) may be associated with flow …

Objective Fontan failure can be potentially addressed with an implantable pump in the
cavopulmonary junction (cavopulmonary assist device, CPAD) to replace the missing …

Abstract Pseudopotential lattice Boltzmann methods (LBMs) can simulate a phase transition
in high-density ratio multiphase flow systems. If coupled with thermal LBMs through equation …

Fluid–structure interaction (FSI) is a nonlinear multiphysics phenomenon that describes the
interactions between incompressible fluid flows and immersed structures, making it …

The Fontan circulation, designed for managing patients with a single functional ventricle,
presents challenges in long-term outcomes. Computational methods offer potential …

Single ventricle hearts have only one ventricle that can pump blood effectively and the
treatment requires three stages of operations to reconfigure the heart and circulatory system …

This study aims to characterize the effect of inflow pulsatility on the hydrodynamic power loss
inside intersecting double-inlet, double-outlet pipe intersection (DIPI) with cross-flow mixing …
