In this study, we present a fully-coupled fluid-structure interaction (FSI) framework that combines smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) and nonlinear finite element (FE) method to investigate the coupled aortic and mitral valves structural response and the bulk intraventricular hemodynamics in a realistic left ventricle (LV) model during the entire cardiac cycle. The FSI model incorporates va...

[1] Canonical transform (CT) and full-spectrum inversion (FSI) methods can be used in processing radio occultation data to retrieve transmission profiles, which are necessary in addition to bending angle profiles for the retrieval of atmospheric humidity independent of temperature. Low Earth orbiter–low Earth orbiter cross-link occultations with X/K band frequencies can provide transmission dat...

Crystal structures of minerals are defined by a specific atomic arrangement within the unit-cell, which follows laws symmetry to each crystal system. The causes for mineral crystallize in given system have been subject many studies showing their dependency on different formation conditions, such as presence aqueous fluids, biotic activity and others. Different attempts made quantify interpret i...

In recent years the role of FSI (fluid-structure interaction) simulations in the analysis of the fluid-mechanics of heart valves is becoming more and more important, being able to capture the interaction between the blood and both the surrounding biological tissues and the valve itself. When setting up an FSI simulation, several choices have to be made to select the most suitable approach for t...
