Fig. 6

Measured pump flow (Qmeas) and the torque-generating-current (IT) are shown during cardiac cycles at ω = 5400 rpm and µ = 3.5 mPa·s for full support (left side) and partial support (right side). In the lower right graph, the decrease of IT regardless of the increasing Qmeas is visible. The dashed lines mark the infliction point of IT at this ω (~ 820 mA).
