The research has been supported by the British Heart Foundation . Simon Weston was the research student on the pilot studies. This shows a domain based on a subject-specific descending thoracic aorta obtained from MRI scans. The model was rigid, i.e. compliance was not modelled.
Separation develops as the flow retards.
Further data will be added to expand on these results. For results on subsequent ongoing research, on the human left ventricle, see Nikoo Saber's entry . Contact Webmaster for any enquiries.
