Fluid domain discretization (a) with two levels of mesh adaptation to progressively refine grid characteristic dimension (l) within the aortic root; b) BAV leaflets were discretized into 3 layers of hexahedral elements along their thickness; c) fitting of the isotropic and hyperelastic Ogden strain energy function on ex vivo experimental data for non-fused (NC, R²=0.9996) and fused (R-L, R²=0.9986) AV leaflet, averaging biaxial test data between circumferential and radial tested directions.
