Abstract: The controversy over the use of nonpulsatile versus pulsatile pumps for maintenance of normal organ function during ex vivo perfusion has continued for many years, but resolution has been limited ...

Abstract: The dynamic characteristics of catheter-transducer systems using rigid tubes with compliance lumped in the transducer and oscillatory flow of fluid in rigid tubes were analyzed. A digital computer ...

Abstract: The effects of oscillatory amplitude and frequency on fluid resistance for pulsatile incompressible laminar flow in rigid tubes were investigated analytically and experimentally. Analytical results ...
