Project
Trileaflet Aortic Valve
Hemodynamics simulation through a trileaflet aortic valve showing realistic flow patterns and valve dynamics during the cardiac cycle.
1 Challenge
Understanding the flow patterns through a healthy trileaflet aortic valve during the cardiac cycle.
2 CFD Approach
FSI simulation of the trileaflet aortic valve in a 3D anatomic aorta using the CURVIB method.
3 Results
Instantaneous streamlines colored with velocity magnitude contours show the flow through the valve during systolic phase.
4 Engineering Conclusion
For the trileaflet aortic valve case, the valve jet preserves its direction and does not impinge on the aortic wall.
