Smoothed particle hydrodynamics based FSI simulation of the native and mechanical heart valves in a patient-specific aortic model

Abstract The failure of the aortic heart valve is common, resulting in deterioration of the pumping function of the heart. For the end stage valve failure, bi-leaflet mechanical valve (most popular artificial valve) is implanted. However, due to its non-physiological behaviour, a significant alterat...
