Particles deposition on microfiltration permeable boundary Modeling and simulation with two-ways coupling sphere model in a turbulent flow

摘要

Purpose - The permeate flux in microfiltration (MF) declines sharply with time due to membrane fouling, which seriously restricts its use in industrial applications. The purpose of this paper is to investigate particles deposition in MF processes, and propose a three-dimensional numerical model that focuses on particle-fluid flow and considers both permeable boundary conditions and cake deposition.
