Effect of Bileaflet Valve Orientation on the 3D Flow Dynamics in the Sinus of Valsalva

Three-dimensional (3D) evolutional behavior of flow dynamics in the aortic sinus of Valsalva was studied in vitro for finding the effects of bileaflet valve orientations in an effort to investigate possible linkages between the sinus flow and coronary circulation. A realistic model of the aortic sin...
