A three-dimensional computation of fluid-structure interaction in bioprosthetic heart valves using immersed membrane method

This work aims to apply Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and Computational Structural Dynamics (CSD) to simulate the motions of bioprosthetic heart valves and the flow field around them. The major problem in the numerical simulation of heart valves is fluid-structure interaction between the valve...
