Flow through the artifitial heart valve

The presented thesis solves a flow through the artificial heart valves. The thesis concerns with a historic development of mechanical heart valves and their basic parameters. It also includes a short research about Dynamic mesh module, which is contained within ANSYS Fluent. An experiment with a real mechanical heart valve was done within the diploma thesis and obtained data were compared with physiological ones. One part of this work was a design of 3D model of real heart valve replacement. The model was used for fluid dynamic computations using the Dynamic mesh of ANSYS Fluent software. In the end are the results of experimental part and numerical solutions used for few suggestions that could improve the function of the artificial heart valve
