CFD/Transient Simulations

A transient flow simulation should be performed when all the flow variables change with time. This is also preferable for the evaluation of the interactions between rotating and stationary components of a pump (turbine). For implantable blood pumps (VADs) which usually operate under the pulsatile flow conditions, we can perform the transient flow simulations to help customers fully understand the performance and biocompatibility under realistic conditions likely to occur in the circulation.

Because of our powerful CFD/FEA-based design optimization tools, all the results by steady-state and transient CFD simulations for all the optimized models show high performance and excellent flow match between fluid flow and impeller/stator blades without flow separations and vortices within entire flow domains even under the pulsatile flow condition over a large variation of flow rates with time.
