The current communication is a state-of-the-art review of the recently developed
Isogeometric analysis and its various applications such as structural, thermal, fluid–structure …

The superior accuracy isogeometric analysis (IGA) brought to computations in fluid and solid
mechanics has been yielding higher fidelity in computational aerodynamics. The increased …

This paper builds on a recently developed immersogeometric fluid–structure interaction
(FSI) methodology for bioprosthetic heart valve (BHV) modeling and simulation. It enhances …

Numerous studies have suggested that medical image derived computational mechanics
models could be developed to reduce mortality and morbidity due to cardiovascular …

Valvular heart disease has recently become an increasing public health concern due to the
high prevalence of valve degeneration in aging populations. For patients with severely …

This paper uses a divergence-conforming B-spline fluid discretization to address the long-
standing issue of poor mass conservation in immersed methods for computational fluid …

The transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) has emerged as a minimally invasive
alternative to surgical treatments of valvular heart disease. TAVR offers many advantages …

The left ventricle of the heart is a fundamental structure in the human cardiac system that
pumps oxygenated blood into the systemic circulation. Several valvular conditions can …

We explore the use of the non-symmetric Nitsche method for the weak imposition of
boundary and coupling conditions along interfaces that intersect through a finite element …

This work describes a fluid–structure interaction (FSI) design optimization framework and
applies it to improving the structural performance of a water brake used to stop aircraft …
