The aim of this work is to understand how an object interacts with a fluid when it is only present as an obstacle. Future investigations are focused in configuring objects as being nonstationary, i.e., using a fluid-structure interaction (FSI) problem, the objective of this is to understand how other geometries will affect the fluid when they have their own motion. Simulating artificial valves is the main interest of future approaches, especially the ones shown in [5]. Future work includes not only an FSI simulation of a cardiac valve but also a parametric study where characteristic velocity and frequency of the fluid and the elastic modulus of the material are varied to create different situations. This will allow us to create a data matrix that will be focused in determining possible control parameters. Once these factors are settled, a modification to the electric analogy of the cardiac cycle represented by the Windkessel model [8–10] will be conducted in order to replicate the behavior of a valve.
