Effects of flow vortex on a chorded mitral valve in the left ventricle
An Immersed Boundary fluid-structure interaction model is developed to investigate the dynamic behaviour of a prosthetic chorded mitral valve (MV) inside the left ventricle (LV). In order to simulate more realistic physiological flow conditions, in vivo magnetic resonance images of the LV are used t...
