Numerical simulation of a centrifugal blood pump
 Numerical mesh of a centrifugal blood pump Due to the high blood damage potential of centrifugal pumps, the purpose of simulation is to optimise pump behaviour and simultaneously minimise blood damage.  Pressure distribution in a centrifugal blood pump
|
Detailed knowledge of velocity, pressure and stress distributions are necessary to achieve this objective. ASD can obtain such information using modern CFD methods.

ASD offers their customers a special expertise as regards quantification of the blood damage potential associated with a pump under examination.
| This combination of CFD methods with modern blood damage models makes it possible to predict this important design criterion and means a huge saving in unnecessary animal tests.
