Discrete multi-physics: A mesh-free model of blood flow in flexible biological valve including solid aggregate formation.

We propose a mesh-free and discrete (particle-based) multi-physics approach for modelling the hydrodynamics in flexible biological valves. In the first part of this study, the method is successfully validated against both traditional modelling techniques and experimental data. In the second part, it...
