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.

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.
