Despite the improved design of biological and Mechanical Heart Valves (MHV), thrombus formation remains a challenge in clinical practice. Abnormal blood flow through the foreign valve components is recognized as the greatest limitation. An important aspect of MHV selection and design lies in the understanding of the fundamental principles that govern the complex dynamical interactions between blood and valve. Therefore, a novel approach has been adopted to predict the valve movement by utilizing the fluid-structure interaction model which is innovative and fundamentally distinct from the...
