Using ANSYS FLUENT v 14.0, a computation fluid dynamics simulation was carried out to analyze the effect of gap size on the flow in a centrifugal blood pump. The modelling process was conducted using GAMBIT, a design software. For investigation purposes, 4 models with different clearance gap sizes,...
