With the aid of computational fluid dynamics, the complex internal flows in water pump
impellers can be well predicted, thus facilitating the design of pumps. This article describes …

The purpose of this article is to validate numerical simulations of flow and pressure
incorporating deformable walls using in vitro flow phantoms under physiological flow and …

The purpose of this study is to validate numerical simulations of flow and pressure in an
abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) using phase-contrast magnetic resonance imaging …

Thousands of cardiac failure patients per year in the United States could benefit from long-
term mechanical circulatory support as destination therapy. To provide an improvement over …

Thousands of adult cardiac failure patients may benefit from the availability of an effective,
long‐term ventricular assist device (VAD). We have developed a fully implantable, axial flow …

Fluid dynamic forces in centrifugal blood pump impellers are of key importance in
destruction of red blood cells (RBCs) because high rotational speed leads to strong …

A magnetically suspended axial flow blood pump is studied experimentally in this article.
The pump casing enclosed a three‐blade straightener, a two‐blade impeller shrouded by a …

A ventricular assist device (VAD), which is a miniaturized axial flow pump from the point of
view of mechanism, has been designed and studied in this report. It consists of an inducer …

To finalize the design of the next generation of the HeartQuest left ventricular assist device, a
suitable impeller had to be designed and tested. The new prototype was based on …

Longer‐term (> 2 weeks) mechanical circulatory support will provide an improved quality of
life for thousands of pediatric cardiac failure patients per year in the United States. These …
