Abstract

Pressure-flow control characteristics of a commercially available cerebrospinal flow(CSF) control shunt valve was studied using flow/structure interaction analyses. Pre-stress of the valve diaphragm(membrane) was accounted for the simulation of an actual valve. The present results were in good agreement with the valve specification listed in the commercially available CSF control valve. The flow/structure interaction analysis of the present study can be effectively used to design a variety of CSF control shunt valves.
