✦ Synopsis

hydrodynamic mechanism of slurry particles depositing onto a filter septum in a turbulent cross-flow filtration is proposed. The distribution of fluid velocity and the particle concentration within the cross-flow filtration system are numerically analyzed to study the rate of particle deposition, the growth of the cake, and the attenuation of filtration rate during operation. The effects of the operating parameters on the characteristics of the cross-flow filtration are discussed.
