Thousands of pediatric patients in the United States are diagnosed with congestive heart failure (CHF) secondary to acquired or congenital heart disease. Symptoms of CHF include left-side heart ...

In this study, numerical simulation was employed to predict the performance and internal flow characteristics of the inlet of an axial-flow pump by assigning an absolute flow angle to the inlet guide ...

Severe pediatric cardiac decompensation has a mortality risk of 50-65% and is the leading cause of death in children. Heart transplantation is the current standard of care for end-stage pediatric ...

Inlet flow direction significantly affects the hydraulic performance of an axial-flow pump. Usually, the research papers ignore this phenomenon, resulting in discrepancies between simulation and ...
