Analytical model for deep bed filtration with multiple mechanisms of particle capture

摘要

A model for deep bed filtration of a monodisperse suspension in a porous medium with multiple geometric particle capture mechanisms is considered. It is assumed that identical suspended particles can block pores of different sizes. The pores smaller than the particle size are clogged by single particles; if the pore size exceeds the diameter of the particles, it can be blocked by bridging - several particles forming various stable structures.
