The total artificial heart (TAH) is a pump used to replace both ventricles of the heart when they can no longer provide enough cardiac output. The left and right pumps of the TAH were modeled in acrylic to study the hemodynamics using particle image velocimetry. In addition to developing models for the ventricular pumps, preliminary waveforms for the right side were obtained to match physiological conditions and compared to literature.
