Simulations of pulsatile flow through bileaflet mechanical heart valves using a suspension flow model: to assess blood damage

Defective or diseased native valves have been replaced by bileaflet mechanical heart valves (BMHVs) for many years. However, severe complications still exist, and thus blood damage that occurs in BMHV flows must be well understood. The aim of this research is to numerically study platelet damage tha...
