Influence of shear rate and surface chemistry on thrombus formation in micro-crevice

PEDS18: Automated CFD Shape Optimization of Stator Blades for the PediaFlow Pediatric VAD

“…Biomaterial-related parameters in the model were previously calibrated for the Titanium alloy Ti6Al4V, the blood-contacting material of the PediaFlow. 40 Applying the same numerical setup, a thrombosis simulation was conducted assuming whole blood of 3.5 cP viscosity and 1060 kg/m 3 density. The total platelet concentration at the inlet was prescribed as 310 14 PLT/m 3 with 1% background level of platelet activation.…”
