Additional information

For the first time, a transient contact analysis technique has been established for mitral heart valves compatible with simultaneous fluid-structure interaction. This method has applications in fluid-solid modelling of such valves, as well as other biological heart valves. The initial stages of this study were funded through a British Heart Foundation Junior Fellowship (FS/05/32). This study opens up new potential for existing research into Fluid-Structure Interaction modelling of heart valves (e.g. Comp Meth Biomech Biomed Eng DOI: 10.1080/10255842.2012.688818, and international conference presentations in New Zealand, Germany, Italy and within the UK) by enabling hydrodynamic systolic simulation of the mitral valve.
