Simulation shows how blood flows through the heart

The view inside a beating heart is one not seen—or even seeable—until now, according to Rice University mechanical engineer Tayfun Tezduyar, who says such visualizations can help clinicians understand the mechanisms that push blood through the body and fix things when they go awry.

Tezduyar, the James F. Barbour Professor of Mechanical Engineering at Rice's George R. Brown School of Engineering, is an expert in modeling interactions between fluids and structures whose work encompasses biomechanics, including the circulatory system, and large-scale systems like parachutes, wind turbines and ground vehicles.
