Key result
Analysis of a bileaflet mechanical heart valve revealed complex, three-dimensional pulsatile jet structures and chaotic small-scale vorticity fields during the deceleration and closing phases.
This study elucidates the complex, three-dimensional vorticity dynamics and flow-structure interactions of a bileaflet mechanical heart valve under pulsatile flow conditions.

Dasi et al. (2007) studied this question. Bileaflet mechanical heart valve was evaluated on Velocity and vorticity fields. Analysis of a bileaflet mechanical heart valve revealed complex, three-dimensional pulsatile jet structures and chaotic small-scale vorticity fields during the deceleration and closing phases.
