The numerical analysis of non-newtonian blood flow in a mechanical heart valve
Background: The non-physiological structure of mechanical heart valves (MHVs) affects the blood flow field, especially the complex microstructure at the hinge. Numerous studies suggest that the blood flow field in the aortic area with an MHV can be considered Newtonian. However, the Newtonian assump...
