Bladeless Heart Pump Design: Modeling and Numerical Analysis

In this paper, the design of a new type of heart pump is presented. The uniqueness of this pump concept is that the mechanical energy is transferred to the fluid by the rotation of flat disks without blades. Both theoretical and numerical analysis are used to determine the pump design parameters. Th...
