Comparison of Immersed Boundary Simulations of Heart Valve Hemodynamics against In Vitro 4D Flow MRI Data
Alexander D. Kaiser, Nicole K. Schiavone, Christopher J. Elkins +3
The immersed boundary (IB) method is a mathematical framework for fluid-structure interaction problems (FSI) that was originally developed to simulate flows around heart valves. Di…
Controlled Comparison of Simulated Hemodynamics across Tricuspid and Bicuspid Aortic Valves
Alexander D. Kaiser, Rohan Shad, Nicole Schiavone +2
Bicuspid aortic valve is the most common congenital heart defect, affecting 1-2% of the global population. Patients with bicuspid valves frequently develop dilation and aneurysms o…
A Design-Based Model of the Aortic Valve for Fluid-Structure Interaction
Alexander D. Kaiser, Rohan Shad, William Hiesinger +1
This paper presents a new method for modeling the mechanics of the aortic valve, and simulates its interaction with blood. As much as possible, the model construction is based on f…
