Modelling of differential pressure buildup during flow through beds of fibrous materials

The present paper reports on our efforts in modelling the pressure drop buildup across beds of fibrous materials at strainers. Special attention is drawn to the compressibility of the fibrous filter cake. The influence of penetration depth of sludge particles onto the overall pressure drop in conjunction with the thin-bed effect has been investigated. Numerical results are compared with pressure drop measurements.
Keywords: pressure drop; strainer blockage; fibrous filter cakes; compressible filter cakes
