Comparison of trans-orifice velocity predicted by the computational model and recorded by continuous wave spectral Doppler. CFD model (A) shows the a very similar velocity profile to the Doppler recording (B) across a circular orifice at 70ml/beat. Positive velocity is shown as a negative deflection due to the typical top-to-bottom scan orientation of the ultrasound probe.
