Description: A left ventricular assist device (LVAD) is a mechanical pump that is implanted in patients with heart failure. Better understanding of the effect on the helical flow- the 3D corkscrew motion in the aorta can lead to an improved design. The 2D value of vorticity, is an indicator of the amount of helical flow. So, the research focused on the question: How does the swirling jet emerging from a pLVAD affect the helical flow of the aorta? nThe method we used to visualize the flow is PIV- particle ima
