Abstract:
|
| Secrets
of the heart include the changes in the circulation occurring
at birth, the muscular fiber architecture of the cardiac
ventricles, the collagen fiber architecture of the heart
valves, the electrical activity that coordinates and controls
the heartbeat, and the vortex flow patterns of blood in
the cardiac chambers. In this lecture, mathematical modeling
and computer simulation will be used to reveal the principles
of natural design as seen in the heart. The coupled equations
of cardiac fluid and tissue mechanics will be formulated,
and their solutions presented in the form of a computer
animation of the beating human heart. |
