    Analysis of Fluid Forces Impacting on the Impeller of a Mixed Flow Blood Pump With Computational Fluid Dynamics
    (Sage Publications Ltd, 2024) Diallo, Abdoulaye Billo; Cinar, Hasan; Yapici, Rafet
    This study presents four different impeller designs to compare hydrodynamic forces. Numerical simulation studies are performed via computational fluid dynamics to specify and investigate the hydraulic forces impacting the impeller of the mixed-flow blood pump with a volute. The design point of this pump is that the flow rate is 5 L/min, the rotational speed is 8000 rpm, and the manometric head is 100 mmHg. The designed impellers are placed in the same volute and simulation studies are performed with the same mesh size (17.3 million cells) of the pumps. The simulation studies have been conducted in setting 1050 kg/m3 blood density, 35 cP fluid viscosity, and SST-k omega turbulence model. Additionally, this study examines the changes in hydraulic forces and hydraulic efficiency with fluid viscosity. As a result of experimental simulation studies, the highest hydraulic efficiencies of 40.87% and 39.5% are achieved in the case of the shaftless-grooveless and shafted-grooveless impeller, respectively. The maximum axial forces are obtained from the pump with the shaftless-grooveless impeller. Whereas radial forces, maximum values are calculated in the pump with the shaftless-outer groove impeller for all flow rates. Finally, the wall shear stresses, which are important for blood pump designs, are evaluated and the maximum value of 227 Pa is observed in the pump impeller with a shaftless-grooved.

    Geometric Optimization of a Blood Pump Impeller Using the Taguchi Method: Cfd Analysis and Experimental Evaluation
    (Elsevier, 2025) Diallo, Abdoulaye Billo; Yapici, Rafet; Incebay, Omer; Cinar, Hasan
    Rotodynamic Left Ventricular Assist Devices (LVADs) are critical in managing severe heart failure by providing mechanical circulatory support. Improving these blood pumps'efficiency is crucial for both lowering the device's energy consumption and enhancing patient comfort. In this study, the efficiency of a reference centrifugal blood pump was improved through geometric optimization and validated using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations and experiments. The number of blades, inlet width, outlet width, inlet angle, and outlet angle are among the important impeller parameters that were optimized at three different levels. The orthogonal array of the Taguchi design method was used to reduce the 243 possible configurations from the full-factorial experimental design to 27 trial tests. Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) was used to determine the optimal geometric parameters, which led to maximum efficiency after S/N ratios were analyzed using MINITAB-18 software. The performance of the optimized pump was evaluated via CFD at 3300, 3150, and 3450 pump rotation speeds, resulting in a 21% increase in hydraulic efficiency at the design point (5 L/min, 3300 rpm, and 128.515 mm-Hg). Furthermore, experimental results demonstrated reduced power consumption for the optimized pump compared to the reference pump. This study highlights the potential of geometric optimization in advancing the performance of rotodynamic LVADs.

    Hesaplamalı Akışkan Dinamiği ile Santrifüj Bir Kalp Destek Pompasının Optimizasyonu
    (Konya Teknik Üniversitesi, 2020) Diallo, Abdoulaye Billo; Yapıcı, Rafet
    Bu tez çalışmasının ilk kısmında, Taguchi yöntemini kullanarak referans bir santrifüj kalp destek pompasının veriminin iyileştirilmesi üzerine çalışıldı. Üç seviyede referans pompanın beş geometrik parametresi optimize edildi. Geometrik parametrelerinin optimizasyonunda, 5 L/dak debi ile 3150, 3300 ve 3450 dev/dak dönme sayıları kullanıldı. Elde edilen verim sonuçlarından sinyal/gürültü değerleri hesaplandı ve varyans analizleri yapıldı. Optimal pompanın geometrik parametreleri, ortalama S/N'nin maksimum değerleri dikkate alınarak elde edildi. Elde edilen optimum pompanın katı modeli oluşturuldu ve HAD simülasyonları yapılarak optimal pompanın performansı belirlendi. Sonuçta referans pompanın veriminin epeyce iyileştirilebileceği anlaşıldı. Çalışmanın ikinci kısmında, 0.002-0.006 kg/m.s aralığında viskozitedeki değişimin pompa hidrolik performansına etkileri araştırıldı. Araştırma sonunda viskozite artışına bağlı olarak; sabit debide toplam basınç farkında azalma ve pompa gücünde artma gözlemlendi. Sonuç olarak vizkozite arttıkça pompa veriminde kayda değer bir azalma olduğu görüldü. Bu çalışmanın son kısmında, optimizasyon çalışmasını sonucunda tasarlanan optimum pompanın ve referans pompanın prototipi üretildi ve onlar su-gliserin çözeltisi kullanılarak deneysel testlere tabi tutuldu. Bu pompaların hidrolik performansları belirlendi ve kıyaslandı. Optimum pompanın basınç farkı ve veriminin referans pompanınkinden daha iyi olduğu görüldü.
