TL;DR: A CFD solver based on OpenFOAM® was developed and employed to simulate a specific problem, namely blood flow in a two dimensional micro-channel, and a parametric study is performed to better understand this two-component flow system.

TL;DR: This paper model the malaria-infected RBCs (pRBCs) as paramagnetic particles suspended in a Newtonian fluid and shows that in order to achieve a capture efficiency of 99% for the pR BCs it is required to have a longer length than 80 mm; this implies that in principle, using optimization techniques the length could be adjusted, i.e., shortened to achieve 99% capture efficiency.

TL;DR: A modified form of the mixture theory developed by Massoudi and Rajagopal is used to study the blood flow in a simple geometry, namely flow between two plates.

TL;DR: Combined prescriptive and heuristic design principles have proven effective in developing a miniature magnetically levitated blood pump with excellent performance and biocompatibility, suitable for integration into chronic circulatory support system for infants and young children; aiming for a clinical trial within 3 years.

TL;DR: The governing equations are solved using the OpenFOAM, an open source CFD code for two phase flow simulations and qualitatively good agreement between the simulation results and the experimental data is found.
