Numerical Investigation of Centrifugal Blood Pump Cavitation Characteristics with Variable Speed

In this paper, the cavitation characteristics of centrifugal blood pumps under variable speeds were studied by using ANSYS-CFX and MATLAB software. The study proposed a multi-scale model of the “centrifugal blood pump—left heart blood circulation”, and analyzed the cavi...
