Kurzbeschreibung (Abstract)
For the optimization of ventricular assist devices (VADs), flow simulations are crucial. Typically, these simulations assume single-phase flow to represent blood flow. However, blood consists of plasma and blood cells, making it a multiphase flow. Cell migration in such flows leads to a heterogeneous cell distribution, significantly impacting flow dynamics, especially in narrow gaps of less than 300 μm found in VADs. In these areas, cells migrate away from the walls, forming a cell-free layer, a phenomenon not usually considered in current VAD simulations. This paper addresses this gap by introducing a viscosity model that accounts for cell migration in microchannels under VAD-relevant conditions. The model is based on local particle distributions measured in a microchannels with a blood analog fluid. We developed a local viscosity distribution for flows with particles/cells and a cell-free layer, applicable to both blood and analog fluids, with particle volume fractions of up to 5%, gap heights of 150 μm, and Reynolds numbers around 100. The model was validated by comparing simulation results with experimental data of blood and blood analog fluid flow on wall shear stresses and pressure losses, showing strong agreement. This model improves the accuracy of simulations by considering local viscosity changes rather than assuming a single-phase fluid. Future developments will extend the model to physiological volume fractions up to 40%.
