... (a) the blood flow hydrodynamics and associated heat transport phenomena, (b) the blood flow interactions with the essential organs, and (c) the vessel blockage formation associated with atherosclerosis and thrombosis. The CFD-HCVS model is being developed as a new specialized software module using...

... structures in sizes comparable to human knee joints, the presence of access portals, and the ability to stress the joint. The hydrostatic and hydrodynamic behavior of the knee phantom was validated with pressure and flow measurements documented during arthroscopic knee operations. Surgeons confirmed...

..., a “stent-valve” design was developed that will provide a less cumbersome implantation method and therefore a less invasive access to the heart. The purpose of this study is to verify its hydrodynamic performance and migration characteristics to assess its feasibility for use as a replacement heart valve...
