A CFD based approach to the modelling of pressure drop and flow pattern evolution through industrial filter systems
A macroscopic CFD approach has been developed to simulate pressure drop and flow pattern evolution in industrial filter systems, specifically for polymer melt filtration in plastic film casting. By coupling filter permeability to local fluid velocity using filter blocking models, the approach avoids direct simulation of particle transport, making it computationally efficient. The model has been validated against a complex real-world filter geometry, accurately capturing pressure drop trends and revealing how flow patterns evolve and filter elements block over time. This approach enables more efficient design and analysis of industrial filtration systems.
期刊介绍:
ChERD aims to be the principal international journal for publication of high quality, original papers in chemical engineering.
Papers showing how research results can be used in chemical engineering design, and accounts of experimental or theoretical research work bringing new perspectives to established principles, highlighting unsolved problems or indicating directions for future research, are particularly welcome. Contributions that deal with new developments in plant or processes and that can be given quantitative expression are encouraged. The journal is especially interested in papers that extend the boundaries of traditional chemical engineering.
