Current heart valve replacements (HVRs) fail to comprehensively capture the physiological
behavior of native heart valve tissues, allowing the burden of valvular heart disease to …

BACKGROUND: To say data is revolutionising the medical sector would be a vast
understatement. The amount of medical data available today is unprecedented and has the …

The solution of the pressure Poisson equation arising in the numerical solution of
incompressible Navier–Stokes equations (INSE) is by far the most expensive part of the …

Bileaflet mechanical heart valves (BMHV) create unphysiological turbulent flow. Such
turbulent flow involves multiple instability mechanisms interacting with one another in a …

Bioprosthetic heart valves create turbulent flow during early systole which might be
detrimental to their durability and performance. Complex mechanisms in the unsteady and …

Objective The objective of this study is to evaluate the impact of superhydrophobic coating
on the hemodynamics and turbulence characteristics of a bileaflet mechanical valve in the …

Spatial patterns of elevated wall shear stress and pressure due to blood flow past aortic
stenosis (AS) are studied using GPU-accelerated patient-specific computational fluid …

The formation of thrombi on the streamlined surface of the bileaflet mechanical heart valves
is one of the main disadvantages of such valves. Thrombi block the valve leaflets and disrupt …

This study aims to numerically investigate the effect of bi-leaflet mechanical heart valve
(BMHV) orientation on flow pattern in a realistic human aorta model with branches. The …
