Abstract: The effect of the constriction size on the pulsatile flow in a channel is studied by solving the time-dependent incompressible Navier-Stokes equations. A pulsating incoming flow is specified at ...

Abstract: The present study simulates numerically the flow across two-dimensional tilting disk models of mechanical heart valves. The time-dependent Navier-Stokes equations are solved to assess the importance ...

Abstract: An analytical approach for the mechanical interaction of the self-expanding Cardiocoil stent with the stenosed artery is presented. The damage factor as the contact stress at the stent-artery ...

Abstract: Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) rupture represents a major cardiovascular risk, combining complex vascular mechanisms weakening the abdominal artery wall coupled with hemodynamic forces exerted on ...
