A k-ε model for viscoelastic fluids was used to predict the turbulent flow characteristics in an axial blood pump designed and tested in Xi'an Jiaotong University. The pump hydrodynamics of the axial blood pump was analyzed
and the turbulent kinetic energy and the dissipation rate profile in the clearance gap between the rotor and the pump shell and in the main flow passage were achieved. It is found that the head rise of the aqueous solution of Xanthan gum with 0.06% in concentration is higher than that of water at the same flow rate and same rotating speed
with a maximum difference of 35%
and the calculation results agree well with the measured data. The turbulent kinetic energy and the dissipation rate of the Xanthan gum solution are significantly lower than those of water in most part of the flow field. The mechanical energy loss per kilogram for the aqueous solution of Xanthan gum with 0.06% in concentration is only 37% of that for water roughly. It is likely that lower dissipation rate may lead to a higher head rise of the viscoelastic fluid.
