CFD 해석을 이용한 Balloon형 인공심폐기 설계를 위한 구조적 해석
Structural Analysis for Constructing a Balloon Type Extracoporeal Membrane Oxygenator using CFD Analysis
본 연구는 기존의 인공심폐기의 단점을 보완하기 위하여 혈액펌프를 사용하지 않고 혈류의 흐름을 유도할 수 있는 기구(balloon)형 인공심폐기 설계를 위한 구조적 해석을 시도하였다. 가상의 모형 인공심폐기 내에서의 혈류의 흐름패턴을 분석하기 위하여 CFD 모델링 방법을 사용하였다. 이 시스템의 작동원리는 막 산화기 주위를 기구를 사용하여 압력하중을 인가하여 주기적으로 수축·이완되도록 하였으며, 시간에 따라 변화하는 시간 함수 값은 sine 반주기와 sine 주기를 계산하여 적용하였다. 이와 같은 방법으로 기구형 인공심폐기를 설계할 경우 한 방향에 대한 혈류의 움직임을 유도할 수 있다는 가정 하에 구조적 해석을 하였다. 실험결과 CFD 시뮬레이션을 통하여 인공심폐기의 입구와 출구에서의 혈류의 속도와 압력을 측정하여 분석한 결과 한 방향에 대한 혈류의 유동이 발생하는 것을 확인하였다. 이와 같은 CFD 시뮬레이션은 혈류의 흐름특성을 미리 예측할 수 있어 인공심폐기 설계에 있어서 최적화된 디자인을 제공할 수 있을 것이라 판단된다.
In this study, we attempted a structural analysis in order to design a balloon type extracorporeal membrane oxygenator that can induce blood flow without using blood pumps for the purpose of complementing the weakness in the existing extracorporeal membrane oxygenator. To analyze the flow characteristic of the blood flow within the virtual model of extracorporeal membrane oxygenator, computational fluid dynamics(CFD) modeling method was used. The operating principle of this system is to make the surface of the extracorporeal membrane oxygenator keep contracting and dilating regularly by applying pressure load using a balloon, and the ‘Time Function Value’ that changes according to the time was applied by calculating a half cycle of sine waveform and a cycle of sine.waveform Under the assumption that the uni-directional blood flow could be induced if the balloon type extracorporeal membrane oxygenator was designed as per the method described above, we conducted a structural analysis accordingly. We measured and analyzed the velocity and pressure of blood flow at both inlet and outlet of the extracorporeal membrane oxygenator through CFD simulation. As a result of the modeling, it was confirmed that there was a flow in accord with the direction of the blood by the contraction/dilation. With CFD simulation, the characteristics of blood flow can be predicted in advance, so it is judged that this will be able to provide the most optimized design in producing an extracorporeal membrane oxygenator.
