Kinematic, Dynamic, and Energy Characteristics of Diastolic Flow in the Left Ventricle
Blood flow characteristics in the normal left ventricle are studied by using the magnetic resonance imaging, the Navier-Stokes equations, and the work-energy equation. Vortices produced during the mitral valve opening and closing are modeled in a two-dimensional analysis and correlated with temporal...
