I'm working on optimizing the geometry of a Ventricular Assist Device (VAD) using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations. My research focuses on adjusting design parameters such as blade angles, thickness, and rotor length to maximize pressure rise and hydraulic efficiency. I'm exploring various optimization techniques, including surrogate-based models and multi-objective algorithms, to achieve an optimal VAD design.
I have two questions:
- Can CFD simulations yield accurate results ?
- What is the best technique to use for the optimization ?
I can recommend my on mathematical approach so-called tunnel mathematics. You can try this method and compare it with another ones. If consider rotor of your device as rotating disk one can apply relation of tunnel mathematics. I will submit link on my article.
Thank you in advance for your help.
The ventricular assist device I'm working on is an axial flow pump. Can the mathematical tunnel approach you recommended be used in this case?
Namely axial flows without taking into account azimuthal component of velocity are solved by means tunnel mathematics.
