Wavelet Transforms in the Analysis of Mechanical Heart Valve Cavitation
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Cavitation is known to cause blood element damage and may introduce gaseous emboli into the cerebral circulation, increasing the patient’s risk of stroke. Discovering methods to reduce the ...
Validation of a CFD Methodology for Positive Displacement LVAD Analysis Using PIV Data
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is used to asses the hydrodynamic performance of a positive displacement left ventricular assist device. The computational model uses implicit large eddy simulation ...
Multilaboratory Particle Image Velocimetry Analysis of the FDA Benchmark Nozzle Model to Support Validation of Computational Fluid Dynamics Simulations
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This study is part of a FDA-sponsored project to evaluate the use and limitations of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) in assessing blood flow parameters related to medical device safety. In ...
