Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics Simulation of Flow Through a Bileaflet Mechanical Heart Valve: Advantages and Prospects Conference Paper

abstract

• A numerical simulation of pulsatile flow through a bileaflet mechanical heart valve is presented using smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH), a meshfree particle method. In SPH, the flow is modeled using fluid particles moving within the domain in which there is no mesh generation process and the conservation of mass is satisfied automatically. SPH showed a good capability to capture the main hemodynamic trend. The particle based nature of SPH allows also blood particle tracking, an important component in order to analysis the level of hemolysis induced by bileaflet mechanical heart valves.
