Investigation of the Flow Field Characteristics of Aortic Bileaflet Mechanical Heart Valves with Different Leaflet Shapes Using PIV
Non-physiological flow patterns generated by bileaflet mechanical aortic valves are closely associated with thromboembolism following valve replacement surgery.Investigating how different leaflet shapes affect the flow field characteristics of these valves can help optimize leaflet designs to improve hemodynamic performance and reduce postoperative
