Abstract:Comprehensive optimization of rotodynamic blood pumps (RBPs) requires the consideration of three partially conflicting objectives: size, hemocompatibility, and motor efficiency. Optimizing these individual objectives independently, the potential of multiobjective optimizations often remains untapped. This study aimed at the multiobjective optimization of an RBP for cavopulmonary support accounting for all three objectives simultaneously. Hydraulic and electromagnetic design spaces were characterized using comp… Show more
