Abstract
To investigate the optimization of a certain type of axial blood pump, this article established the model of the axial blood pump with software PRO/E and simulates flow field in one axial blood pump with software FLUENT and GAMBIT. The simulation results are showed by the velocity vector graphs and pressure distribution contours, etc. The conclusion is drawn by analysis of the simulation, this axial blood pump meets human body, but there is some deficiencies need to improve.
