Experimental measurement of leakage flow in centrifugal blood pump

In the design of a blood pump, leakage flow study is crucial as high leakage flow is necessary for good washout within the pump, thereby preventing thrombus formation. However, excessive leakage flow will lead to hemolysis due to high fluid shear stress. Therefore, there is a need to determ...
