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 prevailing methods of simulation
that assume valve movement a priori. Based on a fictitious domain
method and an operator splitting scheme, a mathematical formulation
has been outlined for a fluid-structure model. Numerical
simulations are performed for non-moving and moving rigid bodies to
visualize the flow field. Simulations have also extended to rigid
rectangular flaps following a rotational movement about fixed
points in an unsteady flow as an initial attempt to model a 2D MHV.
The study should be helpful to educators and professionals in the
field of industrial and biological applications.
