Abstract
This paper presents a methodology for analyzing risk hemolysis regions detection in ventricular assist devices. It is based on detecting flow regions with high stresses values. The flow stresses are calculated using the numerical results obtained with computational fluid dynamics techniques. In order to consider the flow turbulence are used four two-equation models. The obtained results are useful, and show the potential of the developed procedure.
