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.
