Project
Aortic Heart Valve FSI
High-fidelity FSI simulation of a trileaflet aortic heart valve at physiologic conditions. The model captures the complex interaction between blood flow and flexible valve leaflets.
1 Challenge
Simulating the hemodynamics of a trileaflet aortic heart valve at physiologic conditions requires capturing the complex interaction between blood flow and flexible valve leaflets.
2 CFD Approach
The CURVIB method coupled with a rotation-free thin-shell FE formulation was employed. The nonlinear anisotropic May-Newman & Yin (MNY) model was used as a property of aortic valve tissue.
3 Results
The simulation shows the process of the opening trileaflet heart valve during the systolic phase at Re=6000.
4 Engineering Conclusion
The model successfully captures the valve dynamics and flow patterns during the cardiac cycle.
