Supports including aortic wall motion in flow models; leaves open human applicability from animal computational data.
Computational modeling demonstrates that helical flow patterns in the ascending aorta are driven by both geometric curvature and the motion of the aorta attached to the beating heart.
Suo et al. (2003) studied Ascending aorta flow patterns. Computational model with full wall motion was evaluated on Flow patterns in the ascending aorta. A computational model incorporating full wall motion demonstrated that flow patterns in the ascending aorta arise from both geometric curvature and aortic motion from the beating heart.
