RISPIV Measurements of Flow in a Centrifugal Blood Pump: Time-Varying Flow
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Measurements of the time-varying flow in a centrifugal blood pump operating as a left ventricular assist device (LVAD) are presented. This includes changes in both the pump flow rate as a ...
PIV Measurements of Flow in a Centrifugal Blood Pump: Steady Flow
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Magnetically suspended left ventricular assist devices have only one moving part, the impeller. The impeller has absolutely no contact with any of the fixed parts, thus greatly reducing the ...
Multilaboratory Particle Image Velocimetry Analysis of the FDA Benchmark Nozzle Model to Support Validation of Computational Fluid Dynamics Simulations
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This study is part of a FDA-sponsored project to evaluate the use and limitations of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) in assessing blood flow parameters related to medical device safety. In ...
