Network flow model for microfiltration

Journal Title: Civil and Environmental Engineering Reports - Year 2010, Vol 1, Issue 5

Abstract

The flow of particles suspended in fluids and transported through different geometries is a process with numerous applications. Realistic filters have randomly-interconnected channel space with complex flow path. However, in micro-fluidic systems, channel space may resemble two-dimensional (2D) tessellation. Here we adopt the network flow concept to analyze 2D micro-filters and study the filter efficiency and the clogging time.<br/><br/>
