In nearly half of the heart valve replacement surgeries performed annually, surgeons prefer
to implant bileaflet mechanical heart valves (BMHV) because of their durability and long life …

Numerical fluid–structure interaction (FSI) methods have been widely used to predict the
cardiac mechanics and associated hemodynamics of native and artificial heart valves …

This paper presents a new fixed grid fluid–structure interaction scheme that can be applied
to the interaction of most general structures with incompressible flow. It is based on an …

Abstract Standard Arbitrary Lagrangian–Eulerian (ALE) methods for the simulation of fluid–
structure interaction (FSI) problems fail due to excessive mesh deformations when the …

Due to advances in medical imaging, computational fluid dynamics algorithms and high
performance computing, computer simulation is develo** into an important tool for …

A computational method is proposed for problems where fluid–structure interaction is
combined with solid-rigid contact. This combination is particularly important for the dynamics …

The potential impact of hemodynamic and vascular wall models on the diagnosis, treatment,
and well-being of thousands of patients suffering from cardiovascular diseases, is …

This contribution focusses on computational approaches for fluid structure interaction
problems from several perspectives. Common driving force is the desire to handle even the …

Prosthetic heart valves deployed in the left heart (aortic and mitral) are subjected to harsh
hemodynamical conditions. Most of the tissue engineered heart valves have been …

In this article, we present a fluid–structure interaction algorithm accounting for the mutual
interaction between two rigid bodies. The algorithm was used to perform a numerical …
