Add to ORKGPhDThe physiological and clinical considerations of centrifugal and axial pumps as ven- tricular assist devices (VADs) demands limitations on the power, size and geometry of the impellers. A typical pump design method is to rely on the characteristics of previously designed pumps with known performance using empirical equations and nondimensional parameters based on uid dynamics similarity law. Such data are widely available for industrial pumps operating in Reynolds number region of 108. VADs operate in Re<106 and therefore the similarity concept does not apply between the industrial diagrams and the medical application of small pumps. The present dissertation employs a parametric approached analytical model to in- vestigate mor...
