Blood flow dynamics through a defective mechanical heart valve

A model of asymmetrical 2-D defective bileaflet mechanical heart valve was used to simulate steady and pulsatile blood flow through a defective mechanical heart valve under several flow and malfunction severity conditions. The calculations used Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations with Newtonia...
