FIGURE 6

Two-dimensional in-plane velocity vectors superimposed on the out-of-plane velocity (V o-p) contours at four instances of the cardiac cycle for the CM hinge. The flow fields are shown at the flat level (level flush with the valve housing) and at the 195 μm level (level located 195 μm within the hinge recess, away from the flat level)
