FDA Benchmark Blood Pump
Application ID: 105031
In this benchmark model for blood flow in a centrifugal pump, simulations are performed for several flow rates and pump speeds. The modeled geometry is taken from the FDA’s Computational Round Robin and the results are in good agreement with the experimental data.
The computed shear stress can be used to predict blood damage that might occur as the blood passes through the pump under various load conditions.
A more detailed description of this model can be found in our blog post "FDA Benchmark: CFD Modeling of a Centrifugal Blood Pump".
This model example illustrates applications of this type that would nominally be built using the following products:
however, additional products may be required to completely define and model it. Furthermore, this example may also be defined and modeled using components from the following product combinations:
- COMSOL Multiphysics® et
- Module Design et
- soit le Module CFD, ou Module Heat Transfer et
- soit le Module CFD, ou Module Polymer Flow
The combination of COMSOL® products required to model your application depends on several factors and may include boundary conditions, material properties, physics interfaces, and part libraries. Particular functionality may be common to several products.
