Save the date: 3 & 4 September 2026 in Warnemünde, Rostock Germany
The Workshop
Two Days of Powerful Talks
Save the date: the 3th and 4th of September 2026!
Research on blood damage in rotating systems is a main subject of the Institute of Turbomachinery (ITU) at the University of Rostock. With a history of 600 years, Rostock is one of the oldest universities in Germany. The technical faculty founded in 1951 was the first one ever established at a classical university in Germany.
To enhance international innovation, we invite you to discuss in workshops current research about flow-induced blood damage in rotating systems, especially in ventricular assist devices.
The workshop is focused on:
- the numerical treatment of blood flow in rotating flow systems,
- the experimental detection of blood damage and the transition to numerical blood damage models,
- numerical blood damage prediction in rotating systems, and numerical flow optimization in rotating blood pumps, e.g. for clinical or industrial applications.
The workshop will take place in Sportschule Warnemünde (Am Bahnhof 3, 18119 Rostock Warnemünde). The Sportschule Warnemünde is situated close to the beach of Warnemünde. A wide selection of hotels can be found nearby. Book your rooms in time because of the holiday season.
The 2026 program will be published once all submitted abstracts have been reviewed.

About the Institute
The Institute of Turbomachinery deals with reasearch and teaching in the field of turbomachinery systems. Our main focus are numerical methods for the development and optimization of turbomachines as well as their acoustics. Extensive experimental equipment is available for the research, such as an anechoic chamber.
One of our main subjects is the research on ventricular assist devices.

Venue
The workshop will take place in the modern conference rooms of the Sportschule Warnemünde. This year's location offers planty of space for presentations, disucussions and meetings. It is relatively close located to the water and therefore offers the possibility to get to the beach within a few minutes and to relax after the workshop.
Rostock and Warnemünde offer numerous possibilities to spend a nice time. We recommend WIROtel Mittelmole, the Sportschule Warnemünde, the aja Hotel Warnemünde and the Strand Hotel Hübner.
