RISComputational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) Study of the 4th Generation Prototype of a Continuous Flow Ventricular Assist Device (VAD)
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The continuous flow ventricular assist device (VAD) is a miniature centrifugal pump, fully suspended by magnetic bearings, which is being developed for implantation in humans. The CF4 model is ...
A Study of the Effects of Baffles on Rotating Compressible Flows
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Onsager’s pancake equation for the fluid dynamics of a gas centrifuge is modified for the case of centrifuges with baffles which render the flow domain doubly connected. A finite element ...
Quantitative Evaluation of Blood Damage in a Centrifugal VAD by Computational Fluid Dynamics
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This study explores a quantitative evaluation of blood damage that occurs in a continuous flow left ventricular assist device (LVAD) due to fluid stress. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) ...
Investigation of Self-Starting Capability of Vertical Axis Wind Turbines Using a Computational Fluid Dynamics Approach
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Vertical axis wind turbines have always been a controversial technology; claims regarding their benefits and drawbacks have been debated since the initial patent in 1931. Despite this contention, ...
A Computational Fluid Dynamics/Bulk-Flow Hybrid Method for Determining Rotordynamic Coefficients of Annular Gas Seals
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper presents a new computational fluid dynamics (CFD)/bulk-flow hybrid method to determine the rotordynamic characteristics of annular gas seals. The method utilizes CFD analysis to evaluate ...
