🩺 New R&D Initiative: Biomedical Flows in TCAE

We are excited to announce a new long-term research and development initiative at CFD SUPPORT focused on biomedical flows, particularly in the simulation and optimization of axial blood pumps and related medical devices.

This ongoing project is a joint effort between:

  • CFD SUPPORT

  • Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, Czech Technical University in Prague

  • Institute of Mathematics, Czech Academy of Sciences

Together, we are developing a fully automated, modular workflow for the simulation, optimization, and evaluation of biomedical devices — extending TCAE to support:

  • Blood flow dynamics (including non-Newtonian effects)

  • Hemolysis and shear-induced cell damage

  • Coagulation modeling

  • Elasticity and deformation (fluid-structure interaction)

At the center of the framework is a parametric CAD model of an axial blood pump (developed in Rhino/Grasshopper), tightly integrated with simulation workflows in TCAE, and supported by automatic report generation and optimization tools.

🔬 The project is now active and development is in full swing.

📥 We have also released a new public case study that serves as a benchmark for this initiative:

🤝 We may still be looking for new collaborators — particularly those from the biomedical, academic, or engineering communities who are interested in simulation-driven design, validation, or application of these workflows.

If you’re interested in contributing, collaborating, or just following the project, we’d love to hear from you.

Thank you for your continued support.
