Total Artificial Heart Replacement With 2 Centrifugal Blood Pumps

The total artificial heart in a cardiac replacement therapy programme.

Prediction of Flow Features in Centrifugal Blood Pumps

We present preliminary results from numerical simulations of blood flow in a prototype of a centrifugal pump. The simulations involve incompressible Navier-Stokes governing equations, stabilized space-time finite element formulations, and parallel implementation on distributed memory architectures. The examples illustrate our approach of custom hybrid structured-unstructured tetrahedral meshes,...

Detecting Cavitation in Centrifugal Pumps

ently Nevada Corporation is continually investigating methods to help our customers protect and manage all their machinery. This includes integrated solutions to address machines of all sizes, speeds, and criticality. Within two of the largest markets that we serve, Hydrocarbon Processing and Power Generation, the most common machine type is the process pump. The vast majority of these pumps ar...

Thrombus Formation in Centrifugal Pumps

Three centrifugal flow pumps; the Biomedicus BP80, the Sarns Delphin and the Aries Lifestream 2100, were evaluated in vitro to determine each pump's individual tendencies for thrombus formation. Thrombogenic surfaces in the circuit were minimized by using heparin coated tubing and connectors. The centrifugal pumps, which were not heparin bonded, were placed in line in a circuit which consisted ...
