Plasma skimming efficiency of human blood in the spiral groove bearing of a centrifugal blood pump

This work investigates the plasma skimming effect in a spiral groove bearing within a hydrodynamically levitated centrifugal blood pump when working with human blood having a hematocrit value from 0 to 40%. The present study assessed the evaluation based on a method that clarified the limitations as...
