Modelling left ventricular function under assist device support
Numerical simulations provide a unique approach for investigating the impact of left ventricular assist devices (LVADs) on the pump function of the heart. To this end, the fictitious domain (FD) method was incorporated within a non-conforming coupled fluid-solid mechanics solver creating a model cap...
