RISNoninvasive Fluid Dynamic Power Loss Assessments for Total Cavopulmonary Connections Using the Viscous Dissipation Function: A Feasibility Study
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The total cavopulmonary connection (TCPC) has shown great promise as an effective palliation for single-ventricle congenital heart defects. However, because the procedure results in complete bypass ...
Numerical Simulation of Flow in Mechanical Heart Valves: Grid Resolution and the Assumption of Flow Symmetry
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A numerical method is developed for simulating unsteady, 3-D, laminar flow through a bileaflet mechanical heart valve with the leaflets fixed. The method employs a dual-time-stepping artificial- ...
