Possible Assessment of Calf Venous Pump Efficiency by Computational Fluid Dynamics Approach

Possible Assessment of Calf Venous Pump Efficiency by Computational Fluid Dynamics Approach

Three-dimensional simulations of peripheral, deep venous flow during muscular exercise in limbs of healthy subjects and in those with venous dysfunction were carried out by a computational fluid-dynamics (CFD) approach using the STAR CCM + platform. The aim was to assess the effects of valvular inco...
