Polymeric Transcatheter Heart Valves
… were tested for leaflet thickness distribution, hydrodynamic function and accelerated durability, and subsequently implanted in an acute ovine TAVI model as proof of concept. Effective Orifice Area (EOA) >1.7 cm2, regurgitation < 10% and transvalvular pressure gradient < 10 mmHg were achieved. …

Hydrodynamically Coupled Shape-Morphing Beams Oscillating in a Viscous Fluid
… fluid-structure interaction (FSI) of a pair of hydrodynamically coupled parallel beams immersed in a quiescent, incompressible, viscous, Newtonian fluid. The beams have two concurrent motions: a rigid oscillation in the vertical direction and a harmonic shape-morphing deformation to an arc of a …

Design and development of an electrospun polymeric transcatheter heart valve for tissue engineering
… The ideal replacement valve should mimic the functionality of its native counterpart, comprise of viable living tissue, and offer lifelong durability, also for young patients. The central aims of this project were to design, manufacture, and evaluate two types of electrospun trileaflet …

Modulation Of Hydrodynamic Forces On Oscillating Submerged Structures In Viscous Fluids
… of submerged devices primarily depends on the hydrodynamic forces experienced by the submerged structure resulting from the fluid-structure interactions. In turn, such forces are correlated to power dissipation occurring during underwater oscillations. The added mass and hydrodynamic damping …

Qualitative and Quantitative Study of the Flow Physics in the Vicinity of an Oscillating Plate in Viscous Fluids
… interaction mechanisms responsible for the hydrodynamic forces acting on the plate. The primary objective of this study is to understand the effect of the parameters of oscillation on the resulting flow pattern and analyze their relation to the hydrodynamic forces. More specifically, we …
