From: Hemolysis at low blood flow rates: in-vitro and in-silico evaluation of a centrifugal blood pump
In-silico methods were used to estimate the basic trend of Modified Index of Hemolysis (MIH) and recirculation depending on pump flow. Recirculation CFD results for 2 L/min and 3 L/min extracted from Gross-Hardt et al. [10] (Reproduced with permission from Springer Nature). Each curve represents constant impeller speed to achieve the desired pump pressure head of 250 mmHg at 1 L/min. The recirculation ratio is depicted on the second y-axis above the flow
