Abstract: We carry out three-dimensional high-resolution numerical simulations of a bileaflet mechanical heart valve under physiologic pulsatile flow conditions implanted at different orientations in an ...

Abstract: Aortic stenosis caused by valve calcification is a major cause of death around the world. Hemodynamic factors have been suggested to be major players in the development of valve calcification, ...

Abstract: A general-purpose numerical method is developed for solving the full three-dimensional (3D), incompressible, unsteady Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes (URANS) equations in natural river reaches containing complex hydraulic ...

Abstract: Large-eddy simulation (LES) of a three-dimensional, turbulent free surface flow past a stream restoration structure with arbitrarily complex geometries is presented. The three-dimensional, incompressible, spatially filtered ...

Abstract: High-resolution numerical simulations are carried out to systematically investigate the effect of the incoming flow waveform on the hemodynamics and wall shear stress patterns of an anatomic ...

Abstract: To improve the understanding of how static mixers work and how to better utilize them in environmental engineering (or, specifically, drinking water treatment), a numerical model for simulating turbulent flows in helical ...

Abstract: Numerical computations and laboratory experiments are carried out to investigate the three-dimensional structure of large-scale (coherent) vortices induced by bridge abutments on a flat bed. A finite-volume numerical method ...

Abstract: A numerical method is developed for carrying out unsteady Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes (URANS) simulations and detached-eddy simulations (DESs) in complex 3D geometries. The method is applied to simulate incompressible ...
