Turbulent Systolic Flow Downstream of a Bioprosthetic Aortic Valve: Velocity Spectra, Wall Shear Stresses, and Turbulent Dissipation Rates

Every year, a quarter million patients receive prosthetic heart valves in aortic valve replacement therapy. Prosthetic heart valves are known to lead to turbulent blood flow. This turbulent flow field may have adverse effects on blood itself, on the aortic wall and on the valve performance. A detail...
