Abstract
Evaluation of hemolysis within a blood pump on a computer is useful for developing rotary blood pumps. The flow fields in the axial flow blood pump were analyzed using computational fluid dynamics (CFD). A blood damage index was calculated based on the changes in shear stress with time along 937 streamlines. Hemolysis of the pumps was measured using bovine blood. A good correlation between the computed and measured hemolysis results was observed. CFD analysis is useful for estimating hemolysis of rotary blood pumps on a computer.Entities:
