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 ...
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) ...
