Simulation of Myocardium Motion and Blood Flow in the Heart with Fluid-Structure Interaction

The heart is a complex organ and much is still unknown about its mechanical function. In order to use simulations to study heart mechanics, fluid and solid components and their interaction should be incorporated into any numerical model. Many previous studies have focused on myocardium motion or blo...
