Evaluating fluid flow through an aortic stenosis

Aortic stenosis is one of the most common valve diseases, in which the aortic valve doesn't fully open, usually due to a congenital defect or calcification. This leads to pathological blood flow through the valve. Through our research, we've discovered some key flow parameters that alter haemostasis and thrombosis, indicating that the fluid mechanics through these valves are critical for identifying risks of bleeding and/or thrombosis. In this work, you would use experimental fluid mechanics and optionally blood experiments to thoroughly investigate the impact of aortic stenosis on haemostasis.
