Article Synopsis
- Artificial organs like oxygenators and dialyzers struggle with uneven flow distribution, leading to clot formation and reduced efficiency.
- This study introduces triply periodic minimal surfaces (TPMS) to enhance flow distribution and examines their impact on blood coagulation through computational fluid dynamics and blood testing.
- Results show that TPMS, especially anisometric designs, improve flow distribution and significantly reduce blood clotting compared to traditional tubular designs, while also allowing for customizable inner surfaces for better functionality.
