Abstract

The objective of this study is to get a fundamental data for the shape of a robot which operates in blood vessels. The overall analysis was calculated with a CFD code. The flow was idealized as a pulsatile flow, and first the robot was assumed as a simple capsule model. Then a drag of the body in the flow was calculated, and this process was repeated, varying the shape. To validate all the result, the pulastile velocity simulation was compared with the theoretical data, and the drag of a body was compared with the existing data of the other papers first. Then with the next calculation the guideline for the design of robot shape was presented.
