This paper describes development of the prediction method of thrombus formation by Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) on pipe orifice shear flows. These shear flows are typical models of the flow in the rotary blood pump. In this investigation, the thrombus formation in blood plasma flow is visualized, and modified lattice Boltzmann method are used to predict the backward forwarding step flow, that is simple model of the orifice flow.

Recently artificial organs, especially rotary blood pumps, have been developed in the worldwide, but in this development, thrombus occurs in the pumps. In general, the main physical factors of thrombus formation are considered to be shear rate, wall properties for blood’s adhesion. But, there are no proper CFD codes for predicting thrombus formations using physical parameters in shear flows. In this paper, new model for predicting thrombus formation by considering aggregation and adhesion force to the wall by lattice Boltzmann method is proposed, and the trend of thrombus’s adhesion to the wall can be simulated more adequately than that of previous one.

Lattice Boltzmann methods (LBM) have become an alternative to conventional computational fluid dynamics (CFD) methods for various systems. In this paper, flow field of mean flow past a circular cylinder was simulated based on the lattice Boltzmann method. The streamline of air past the cylinder illuminated that the fluid adhere on the boundary and doesn’t separate from the surface of cylinder when Re number less than 5. When Re number equal 40, flow separated to form a pair of recirculating eddies can be observed. With the Re number increasing, the trailing vortex length is growth accordingly. When Re number come up to 80, the trailing vortex begin to shed regularly. This result is consistent with the experiment data. Drag coefficient that fluid act on the surface of cylinder was calculated. The calculated results were same as the experiment data. Simulation indicate that LBM can simulate the vortex taking place and shedding effectively.
