TY - JOUR TI - Transport and straining of suspensions in porous media: Experimental and theoretical study AU - Aji Kaiser AU - You Zhenjiang AU - Badalyan Alexander JN - Thermal Science PY - 2012 VL - 16 IS - 5 SP - 1344 EP - 1348 PT - Article AB - An analytical model for deep bed filtration of suspension in porous media and straining under size exclusion capture mechanism is developed and validated by laboratory tests on suspension flow in engineered media. The fraction of swept particles is introduced in the inlet boundary condition. The model is successfully matched with the results from column experiments, predicting the suspended particle concentrations at the outlet.
