Abstract:Background: The hydrodynamic suspension structure design of the axial blood pump impeller can avoid the problems associated with using mechanical bearings. However, the particular impeller structure will impact the hydraulic performance and hemolysis of the blood pump. Method: This article combines computational fluid dynamics (CFD) with the Lagrange particle tracking method, aiming to improve the blood pump’s hydraulic and hemolysis performance. It analyzes the flow characteristics and hemolysis performance i… Show more
