A novel approach to cardiac replacement with continuous flow pumps
bei Rice University in Houston, TX
The project includes a research visit at Rice University, Houston with a duration of about 6 month during which the student will be supervised by Dr. Jaewook Nam and Prof. Matteo Pasquali.
The goal of research project is to formulate and validate a mathematical and computational model of the flow and blood damage (hemolysis and thrombosis) in an implantable blood pump. It requires a development of a model which is rooted in the physics and biophysics of blood flow while, at the same time, sufficiently tractable to allow pump design on large parallel computer clusters.
The work is part of a team project on the development of an implantable Total Artificial Heart (TAH) based on two rotary blood pumps. The project involves interactions with research teams at RWTH Aachen University (joint development of computational models), MicroMed Cardiovascular (blood pump engineering and fabrication), and the Texas Heart Institute (system development, in-vitro and in-vivo studies of the TAH performance).
Tasks:
1. Capturing the complex flow in the pump using an existing research CFD code,
2. Improving flow induced blood damage model,
3. Handling large computational data set on distributed memory computers,
4. Relating simulations on short time scales to longer time behavior of the device.
Requirements:
1. Background in mathematical and computational modeling
2. Familiar with FORTRAN computer language
3. (optional) familiar with linux or unix computer environment
4. (optional) experience in visualization software (EnSight)
