The crucial responsibility of the aortic valve is to prevent returning of blood flow from the aorta back to the left ventricle. In-time and accurate opening and closing of the aortic valve can effectively produce the desired blood pressure and cardiac output. For this reason, aortic valve simulation can identify changes related to aortic valve hemodynamics and their relationship. Diagrams of the left ventricular pressure, the left ventricular pressure difference relative to the aortic artery, GOA, blood flow, the left ventricle pressure-to-volume, the left ventricular energy, kinematic energy density, viscous dissipation, valve resistance, fluid pressure difference in two The surface side of the leaflets, and the momentary pressure difference of the longitudinal axis of the aortic valve compared to the pressure of the aortic artery are reported in this research and based on these, the process of opening and closing of the aortic valve is analyzed using numerical methods named ALE. The moving of the aortic leaflet as the displacement of the solid boundary in the fluid-solid interaction method causes the fluid mesh to undergo displacement and change, which is repaired by the sequence of re-meshing in the fluid domain. In this process, problems occur, the details of which and the resolving method are explained in detail.

The heart muscle is supplied via the coronary arteries. The coronary arteries are deformed in each cardiac cycle by the contraction of the myocardium. The aim of this work was to investigate the effects of physiologically idealized cardiac-induced motion on flow rate in human left coronary arteries. The blood flow rate were numerically simulated in an elastic modeled left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD) having a uniform circular cross section. Blood was considered to be a non-Newtonian fluid and Arterial motion was specified based on monoplane physiologically idealized bending. Simulations were carried out with dynamic pressure difference conditions between inlet and outlet in both fixed and moving LAD models, to evaluate the relative importance of LAD motion, flow rate, and the interaction between motion and time-averaged flow rate. LAD motion was caused variations in time-averaged flow rate in the moving LAD models as compare as the fixed models. There was significant variability in the magnitude of this motion-induced flow variation. However, the magnification of time-averaged flow rate is depending to specification of the cardiac motion. Furthermore, the effects of pressure pulsatility dominated LAD motion induced effects; specifically, there were local flow variation and secondary flow in the simulations conducted in moving LAD models.
