Numerical Modeling of Large-Displacement Fluid-Structure Interaction: Preliminary Study Aimed at Analysis of Heart Valve Dynamics

The demand for artificial heart valve replacements is increasing as a result of birth defects, ageing and disease. Collaboration between engineers, biologists and mathematicians is necessary to handle problems related to biocompatibility and fluid dynamics. As a result of the increased demand for ar...
