Finite element analysis (FEA) and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) are generally
insufficient independently to model the physics of the cardiovascular system. Individually …

This paper provides a review of engineering applications and computational methods used
to analyze the dynamics of heart valve closures in healthy and diseased states …

We present a coupled left atrium‐mitral valve model based on computed tomography scans
with fibre‐reinforced hyperelastic materials. Fluid‐structure interaction is realised by using …

Fluid-structure systems occur in a range of scientific and engineering applications. The
immersed boundary (IB) method is a widely recognized and effective modeling paradigm for …

Computational modelling of whole-heart function is a useful tool to study heart mechanics
and haemodynamics. Many existing heart models focus on electromechanical aspect …

Research on venous hemodynamics is pivotal for unravelling venous diseases, including
varicose veins and deep vein thrombosis, essential for clinical management, treatment and …

Background and objective Atrioventricular valve disease is a common cause of heart failure,
and successful surgical or interventional outcomes are crucial. Patient-specific fluid-structure …

The immersed boundary (IB) method is a non-body conforming approach to fluid-structure
interaction (FSI) that uses an Eulerian description of the momentum, viscosity, and …

Background: Fluid structure interaction simulations h hold promise in studying normal and
abnormal cardiac function, including the effect of fluid dynamics on mitral valve (MV) leaflet …

Purpose Realistic fluid-structure interaction (FSI) simulation of the mitral valve opens the
way toward planning for surgical repair. In the literature, blood leakage is identified by …
