Project

Trileaflet Aortic Valve

Hemodynamics simulation through a trileaflet aortic valve showing realistic flow patterns and valve dynamics during the cardiac cycle.

1 Challenge

Understanding the flow patterns through a healthy trileaflet aortic valve during the cardiac cycle.

2 CFD Approach

FSI simulation of the trileaflet aortic valve in a 3D anatomic aorta using the CURVIB method.

3 Results

Instantaneous streamlines colored with velocity magnitude contours show the flow through the valve during systolic phase.

4 Engineering Conclusion

For the trileaflet aortic valve case, the valve jet preserves its direction and does not impinge on the aortic wall.
