Stuart Kelly (2002) studied Mechanical heart valves. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model was evaluated on Three-dimensional, time-dependent blood flow. A geometrically accurate computational fluid dynamics model provided detailed predictions of three-dimensional, time-dependent blood flow through an open ATS bileaflet mechanical heart valve.
