Computational Flow Field Assessment

(Heart Valve)

Artificial heart valves must be evaluated not only through physical testing but also by advanced computational methods that provide deeper insights into blood flow behavior. Computational flow field assessment is a powerful tool for visualizing and quantifying velocity fields, shear stresses, and turbulence patterns around valve structures. These analyses are critical for understanding hemocompatibility, optimizing design, and ensuring compliance with international standards.

At our laboratory, we perform computational flow field assessments in full compliance with ISO 5840, the global benchmark for heart valve prostheses. This ensures every device is validated using both experimental and computational approaches.

  • CFD Simulations:
    High-fidelity computational fluid dynamics models replicating physiological pressures, flow rates, and cardiac cycles.

 

  • Detailed Flow Mapping:
    Visualization of velocity vectors, vortices, and recirculation zones around valve leaflets and hinges.

 

  • Shear Stress Analysis:
    Quantification of shear forces to assess risks of hemolysis and thrombogenicity.

 

  • Regulatory Documentation:
    Comprehensive reporting aligned with ISO 5840 requirements to support FDA, CE, and global approvals.
  • Patient Safety:
    Identifying regions of high shear or stagnation helps reduce risks of clot formation and blood damage.

 

  • Design Optimization:
    Computational insights guide improvements in leaflet geometry, hinge mechanisms, and material selection.

 

  • Accelerated Market Access:
    ISO 5840 compliance streamlines regulatory pathways and builds confidence with clinicians and stakeholders.

 

By combining advanced computational modeling, expert analysis, and strict adherence to ISO standards, we help manufacturers validate the flow dynamics of their artificial heart valves. Partnering with us means confidence in compliance, innovation, and patient protection.
