A blood pump apparatus comprises a housing, a centrifugal pump section
including an impeller and rotating inside the housing to feed a fluid by
a centrifugal force, an impeller rotational torque generation section for
attracting thereto said impeller and rotating said impeller; and a
plurality of grooves for hydrodynamic bearing provided on an inner
surface of said housing at a side of said impeller rotational torque
generation section, each of the grooves for hydrodynamic bearing having a
first side and a second side both extending from a periphery of said
portion in which a groove for hydrodynamic bearing is formed toward a
central side thereof and opposed to each other, a third side connecting
one end of said first side and one end of said second side to each other,
and a fourth side connecting said other end of said first side and said
other end of said second side to each other; said first side and said
second side are formed as a circular arc respectively in such a way that
centers of said circular arcs are different from each other.
