Design, Numerical Evaluation and Experimental Validation of a Variable Valve to Mimic Valvular Diseases, In Vitro

<p> This thesis presents the design and development of a variable valve, which is capable of mimicking different pathological states of different valvular diseases. Onset of valve disease, mainly stenosis, is common in post left ventricular assist device (LVAD) implantation. Hydraulically, thi...
